INTRODUCTION. 


This  book,  like  many  another,  is  a  growth  from  small  beginnings. 

In  1870  the  compiler,  a  boy  of  fifteen  years,  read  a  little  pamphlet 
on  the  genealogy  of  the  Doanes  and  Osborns,  written  in  1836  by  his 
great  grandfather  Israel  Doane  (86).  The  interest  in  the  subject  of 
our  history,  thus  awakened  in  the  compiler's  mind,  found  its  earliest 
expression  in  his  first  genealogical  letter,  dated  Oct.  5,  1878.  What 
was  at  first  the  indulgence  of  a  taste  for  genealogical  research,  and 
begun  only  to  gratify  an  earnest  desire  to  know  something  of  his  an- 
cestors, their  nativity,  branchings  and  history,  grew  into  a  work  of 
large  proportions  ;  and  as  the  researches  brought  to  light  much  that 
was  deemed  interesting  and  worthy  of  preservation,  a  book  embody- 
ing the  genealogy  of  all  branches  of  the  family  seemed  a  necessity 
and  the  present  volume  is  the  outgrowth,  after  more  than  twenty 
years  of  patient  labor. 

Several  attempts,  with  greater  or  less  degree  of  success,  have  been 
made  to  collect  and  compile  the  records  of  the  Doane  family  in  Amer- 
ica, and  in  this  connection  several  individuals  in  particular  should 
have  more  than  a  passing  notice. 

Beginning  about  the  year  1880,  the  late  John  A.  Doane  of  Atlanta, 
Ga.,  spent  much  thought,  time  and  money  in  compiling  a  manuscript 
record  of  his  ancestors.  He  died  before  completing  the  work,  and 
the  result  of  his  researches,  kindly  placed  at  our  disposal  by  his  fam- 
ily, is  incorporated  into  this  book. 

About  the  same  time  Alfred  J.  Doane  (526),  of  Jersey  City,  be- 
came interested  in  the  subject  of  the  family  history,  and  the  account 
we  have  given  of  Israel  Doane  (235)  and  his  descendants  is  the  re- 
sult of  his  extensive  correspondence  and  persistent  research  among 
original  records  of  Bucks  and  Chester  counties,  Pa. 

Beginning  with  its  issue  of  June  9,  1885,  the  Doylestown  Democrat 
of  Doylestown,  Pa.,  published  a  series  of  papers  on  the  genealogy  of 
the  Pennsylvania  branch  of  the  family  written  by  the  late  Dr.  Buck- 
man  of   Philadelphia.      On  Dr.  Buckman's  death  a  year  or  two  later, 
(vi) 


INTRODUCTION.  Vll 

his  genealogical  papers  passed  into  the  possession  of  Mr.  Alfred  J. 
Doane,  by  whose  courtesy  they  are  herein  reproduced,  almost  verba- 
tim, in  our  history  of  the  descendants  of  Daniel  Doane  (14)  the  Friend, 
of  Cape  Cod  and  Pennsylvania. 

For  the  data  of  the  descendants  of  Timothy  Doane  (168)  and  of 
Nathaniel  Doane  (169)  the  reader  is  indebted  to  Col.  O.  J.  Hodge  of 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  for  the  genealogy  of  the  descendants  of  Capt. 
Edward  Doane  (117)  we  are  indebted  to  George  W.  Scott  (534),  who 
has  compiled  the  records  of  his  maternal  ancestors. 

We  are  fortunate  indeed  in  having  our  notes  on  the  English  Family 
from  the  pen  of  Mrs.  Sarah  Cash  of  Delamere,  Cheshire,  England, 
a  writer  well  known  to  the  genealogical  magazines  of  her  county. 
Mrs.  Cash's  home  is  within  the  limits  of  the  ancient  Delamere  Forest, 
of  which  for  many  hundreds  of  years  the  Dones  were  Chief  Foresters, 
and  during  the  past  two  years  she  has  contributed,  to  Cheshire  Notes 
and  Queries,  a  series  of  highly  interesting  articles  on  the  Dones  of 
Utkinton. 

Beyond  this  special  mention  there  are  many  other  helpers  whose 
invaluable  and  continued  assistance  is  hereby  acknowledged,  and  it 
is  impossible  to  let  this  book  go  forth  on  its  little  mission,  without 
expressing  my  gratitude  to  those  friends  who  have  not  only  furnished 
their  records,  portraits,  etc.,  but  have  contributed,  unsolicited,  of 
their  means,  to  ease  the  burden  of  the  preparation  of  this  book — one 
of  the  many  ways  in  which  the  harvest  of  their  generous  lives  will  be 
reaped  by  others. 

The  following  pages  do  not  purport  to  be  a  full  genealogy  of  the 
Doanes,  but  rather  a  record  of  a  part  of  this  numerous  family.  The 
genealogy  of  several  branches  is  traced  only  to  a  very  limited  extent. 
It  has  been  impossible  to  reach  all  its  members,  and  of  those  reached 
several  have  preferred  to  withhold  their  data,  while  many  others  have 
been  unable  to  furnish  much  if  any  information. 

The  compiler  has  the  names,  and  records  more  or  less  complete, 
of  hundreds  of  descendants  not  assigned  to  proper  place  in  this  book, 
as  well  as  numerous  hints  and  clews  to  valuable  data,  and  has  already 
entered  upon  the  work  of  compiling  a  second  book,  purposing,  with 
proper  cooperation,  to  exhaust  all  possible  sources  of  information. 

In  the  gathering  together  of  thousands  of  dates  and  names  it  is 
not  surprising  if  mistakes  occur,  especially  when  even  members  of 
the  same  family  disagree  as  to  data.  An  effort  has  been  made  in 
this  book  to  preserve  accuracy  ;  and  however  incomplete  and  open  to 


Vlll  INTRODUCTION. 

correction  and  criticism  this  record  may  be,  the  reader  can  be  fairly 
confident  that  it  contains  the  solution  of  most  of  the  puzzling 
problems  in  the  genealogy  of  the  several  branches,  and  it  is  believed 
that  any  descendant  wherever  found  can  easily  trace  his  or  her  line 
back  to  Dea.  John  Doane  by  the  data  herein  furnished. 

The  work  of  preparing  the  present  volume  has  been  a  perplexing 
one  and  has  brought  the  compiler  more  trials  than  any  other  member 
of  the  family  can  well  imagine,  yet  withal  it  has  been  a  "labor  of 
love,"  and  if  the  book  contains  something  of  interest  to  the  sons  and 
daughters  of  Dea.  John  Doane,  it  will  bring  its  reward  ;  and  the 
satisfaction  that  comes  from  being  the  means  of  saving,  from  a  too 
common  fate,  a  portion  of  the  old  records  of  an  honored  race,  will 
be  at  least  part  payment  for  the  sacrifice  involved. 

For  the  sake  of  uniformity  we  have  retained  throughout  our  trac- 
ings of  the  descendants  of  Dea.  John  Doane  the  original  form  of  the 
name — Doane.  Many  inquiries  have  been  made  as  to  the  change  in 
the  spelling  of  the  name  from  Doane  to  Doan  in  several  branches  of 
the  family,  particularly  in  the  South  and  West.  I  can  only  state  that 
Dea.  John  Doane,  his  sons,  and  it  is  believed  every  member  of  the 
early  generations  on  Cape  Cod,  invariably  signed  public  documents 
with  the  final  e  in  their  name,  and  therefore  we  claim  that  these  Doans 
are  and  of  right  ought  to  be  Doanes. 

Dea.  John  Doane  left  his  numerous  descendants  as  legacy  the 
escutcheon  of  an  honest  name.  For  two  hundred  and  seventeen 
years  his  ashes  have  mingled  with  mother  earth  in  an  unmarked 
grave  in  the  old  Town  Cove  burial-ground  at  Eastham,  Mass.  It  is 
to  be  regretted  that  no  stone  designates  the  spot,  but  it  is  hoped  that 
family  pride  and  the  abundant  prosperity  of  his  descendants,  will 
erect  ere  long  a  fitting  memorial  stone,  that  future  generations  may 
know  where  their  Pilgrim  ancestor  lies  buried. 

Any  person  who  may  discover  any  error  in  this  genealogy,  will 
confer  a  favor  on  the  compiler  by  immediately  notifying  him  thereof. 
Your  corrections  and  additions  are  invited.  The  compiler's  present 
address  is  not  that  of  a  permanent  residence,  and  on  any  failure  to 
reach  him  thus,  address,  21  Hillside  Ave.,  Maiden,  Mass. 

A  limited  number  of  extra  copies  of  this  volume  have  been  printed, 
and  may  be  secured  while  they  last.  For  a  short  time  the  price  will 
remain  unchanged  but  a  little  later  it  will  be  raised  to  the  regular 
rate  for  such  works.

NOTES  UPON  THE  DONE  FAMILY  OF 
CHESHIRE,  ENGLAND. 


BY    SARAH    CASH. 


The  old  Hall  of  Utkinton,  situated  among  the  leafy  green  lanes  of 
the  picturesque  little  hamlet  of  Utkinton,  one  mile  north  of  Tarporley, 
has  long  been  known  as  the  home  of  the  Dones. 


ANCIENT  SEAT  OF  THE  DONES. 

In  the  Church  of  Tarporley  are  several  fine  monuments  of  the  Done 
family  and  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  Ormerod,  in  his  History  of 
Cheshire,  gives  considerable  space  to  this  particular  family  and 
locality.  Pennant  also,  in  the  quaint  old  book,  A  Journey  to  Chester, 
not  only  gives  the  vicinity  and  geographical  position  of  Utkinton  and 
Tarporley,  but  furthermore  states  after  what  manner  the  ancient 
mastership  of   the  Forest  of   Delamere  had   been  conveyed   to  the 

(ix) 


THE  DONE  FAMILY  OF  CHESHIRE,  ENGLAND. 


Dones,  who,  according  to  ancient  writings,  had  been  accorded  the  name 
of  the  Earl  of  Chester's  Foresters  and  who  possessed  a  power  little 
short  of  the  Earl's  Karons  themselves  ;  exercising  through  their  ser- 
geants a  jurisdiction  over  fifty  parishes.  It  would  seem,  therefore, 
that  during  a  long  lapse  of  years,  say  from  1200  to  the  seventeenth 
century,  a  "  Done,"  one  or  another  of  them,  bad  not  failed  to  make 
a  prominent  figure  either  in  a  political,  moral  or  social  sense  relative 
to  the  annals  of  his  County. 

It  is  supposed  that  the  earliest  settlement  of  the  Dones  atUtkinton 
was  in  King  John's  reign,  1199-1216,  as  in  old  histories  at  a  very 

early  period  is  given  a  marriage  between 
a  Done  and  a  Kingsley,  formerly  spelt 
Kyngslie  or  Chingslie,  and  where,  as  ap- 
peared, the  ancient  manor  of  that  name 
had  just  passed  from  a  Saxon  owner- 
ship ;  and  an  interesting  fact  given  in 
the  Doomsday  survey  is,  that  this  is  one 
of  the  few  instances  of  an  estate  having 
been  continued  by  a  Saxon  proprietor, — 
as  by  Ormerod,  —  "Dunning  tenet  de 
comite  Chingeslie." 

The  office  of  Forestership  or  Rangers 
of  the  Forest,  by  any  noblemen  holding 
such  post,  the  same  is  held,  figuratively 
speaking,  by  the  "tenure  of  a  horn,"  which  particular  horn  in  this 
case  had  been  held  by  the  Dones  through  transcending  generations, 
the  same  having  been  conveyed  at  the  marriage  of  Johanna,  fourth 
daughter  of  Richard  de  Kyngslie  to  Henry  Done,  son  of  Richard 
Done  of  Utkinton. 


This  horn  the  grand  forester  wore  at  his  side, 
Whene'er  his  liege  lord  chose  a  hunting  to  ride  : 
By  Sir  Ralph  and  his  heirs  for  a  century  blown, 
It  passed  from  their  lips  to  the  mouth  of  a  Done. 


This  singular  heirloom,  with  the  attachment  of  a  broad  silken 
braid  evidently  hand  made  and  by  which  it  was  suspended  from  the 
person  of  the  wearer,  in  color  a  soft  greenish  hue  skillfully  mingled 
with  a  gold  thread,  is  still  in  excellent  preservation.  The  horn  is 
black,  and  that  of  a  foreign  animal,  hooped  with  three  hoops  of  gold, 
and  considerably  curved  ;  it  is  fourteen  inches  in  length,  five  inches 


THE  DONE  FAMILY  OF  CHESHIRE,  ENGLAND.        XI 

between  the  extremities  of  the  curve,  three  quarters  of  an  inch  in 
diameter  in  the  narrowest  part,  and  one  and  three  quarters  at  its 
greatest  breadth.  This  horn  must  have  been  frequently  worn  by  the 
reigning  lord  of  Done  when  in  exercise  of  his  office  or  upon  any 
more  formal  or  state  occasion  when  leading  to  the  hunts,  as  it  is 
pretty  generally  known  that  English  Kings  from  time  to  time  visited 
the  noted  forest  of  Delamere  for  the  purpose  of  hunting,  King  James 
the  first,  himself,  having  been  a  guest  at  Utkintou  in  1617. 

The  ancient  orthography  of  the  name  Done  is  not  very  clear.  It 
is  supposed  to  be  derived  from  Dun  or  Dune,  meaning  a  stronghold 
or  hill  fortress,  but  for  ages  it  has  been  pronounced  with  the  o  long. 
It  is  exceedingly  difficult  to  decipher  the  name  in  old  manuscripts  and 
in  parish  registers,  the  same  frequently  appearing  as  Donne,  Dourn, 
Dowue,  etc.,  and  it  being  readily  imagined  that  the  Dones  dating 
back  over  so  long  a  period,  that  their  first  and  earliest  residence  had 
occupied  the  very  spot  upon  which  now  stands  the  present  Hall  and 
might  very  well,  owing  to  the  nature  of  the  times  and  surroundings, 
be  said  to  resemble  a  stronghold  or,  as  so  said,  a  hill  or  fortress. 
Mention  has  been  made  in  old  records  of  the  neighborhood,  of  the 
' '  dungeons  "  of  Utkinton  or  the  dungeons  of  the  forest,  and  there 
is  a  field  of  some  acres  lying  on  the  borders  of  the  present  forest  and 
distant  some  three  quarters  of  a  mile  from  the  old  Hall,  which  still 
goes  by  the  name  of  the  "  dungeons."  This  is  singular  to  note  as 
in  times  gone  by  certain  due  inflictions  for  punishment  against  dep- 
redators on  forest  laws  must  necessarily  have  been  brought  before 
the  Dones  as  Master  Foresters ;  and  it  is  known  that  certain  feuds 
would  sometimes  occur  between  men  of  a  similar  social  standing. 
An  account  is  given  in  the  Buttons  of  Button,  an  ancient  manor  of 
the  Forest,  of  Sir  Piers  Dntton  who  had  killed  deer  in  the  Kings 
Forest  and  with  fifty  of  his  servants  had  prevented  Sir  John  Done's 
servants  from  bringing  in  a  stag  that  was  straying  from  the  forest. 

It  seems  that  the  privileges  vested  in  the  role  of  "  Master  of  the 
Forestership  "  were  extensive  and  somewhat  curious  ;  amongst  them 
were  claimed  by  the  Master,  all  swarms  of  bees,  the  right  shoulder  of 
all  deer,  and  who  had  also  power  of  beheading  any  thief  taken  in  the 
act. 

Many  items  of  interest  concerning  the  ancient  Dones  are  found  in 
the  primitive  records  of  past  history,  the  Recognizance  Rolls,  referring 
often  to  details  of  trade  which  might  to  some  extent  be  carried  on  by 
barter  and  exchange,  a  sort  of  tributary  commerce  which  appeared

suiting  well  those  times  and  conditions  of  men.  Here  for  instance  is 
an  entry  dated  June  3,  1334,  to  Richard  Done,  Forester  of  Mara,  a 
warrant  for  the  delivery  of  oats  to  certain  persons.  Again  in  1337, 
Demise  to  Richard  Done,  Forester  of  Delamere  for  the  fisheries  within 
the  said  Forest  for  six  years  at  13.4  yearly;  and  in  1351  Warrant 
for  pardon  for  Richard  Done  then  in  Forest  of  Mara,  Hugh  de  Fro- 
desham,  John  le  Cler,  Robt.  Helhden  and  other  under-forest  men  for 
the  death  of  one  Robt.  Coswyn  slain  by  them  in  execution  of  their 
office. 

Again  is  entry  of  a  Margaret,  daughter  of  John  Done  of  Utkinton, 
1397.     A  simple  entry  enough,  yet  associated  with  the  ancient  patri- 
mony of  the  "  old  hall,"  the  mind  naturally  falls  back  on  pathetic 
sentiment  and    adds  to  it  the  alleged  tale  of  the  silken  attire  said  to 
be  still  hanging  upon  a  row  of  ancient  pegs  in  the  haunted  room,  into 
which  now  no  one  ever  goes.      The  tale  may  be  true  or  it  may  not, 
yet  the  same  has  been  handed  down  from  a  long  past  date ;  it  is  how- 
ever said  by  the  older  inhabitants  of  the  district,  that  the  "ghost" 
was  "  laid  "  by  a  catholic  priest  some  years  ago  and  made  to  take  the 
form  of  a  black  bird,  and  that  fact  accounts  for  the  number  of  black- 
birds yet  seen  about  the  place.    In  1411  is  entry  again  of  a  John  Done 
of  Utkinton,  who  had  a  lease  of  the  profits  issuing  from  the  forfeiture 
of  swine  and  goats.  On  Augn  6th,  1415,  of  a  John  Done,  son  of  John 
Done,  Jr.,  grantee  of  letters  of  protection  on  his  going  abroad  in  the 
retinue  of  the  King,  which  is  a  noteworthy  fact  to  remark,  as  King 
Richard  had  selected  one  of  his  faithful  bodyguard  from  this  family 
whose  names  are  John  de  Leygh  del  Boothes,  Thorn  Cholmondeley, 
Ralph  Duddon,  Adam  Bostoke  and  "  John  Donne;"  and  upon  occa- 
sion the  King  having  landed  at  Milford  Haven,  he  is   described  as 
"  havynge  with  him  these  seaven  valiant  and  gentle  esquires  of  the 
countie  of  Cheshire."    Again,  is  noted  from  the  same  source,  the  John 
Done  slain  at  Blore  Heath ;  and  memorable  indeed  !  was  that  hand 
to  hand  fight,  where  brother,  brother  met  and  where  neighbor  against 
neighbor  in  close  conflict  fought,  till  many  notable  men  of  valor  lay 
dead  upon  the  field,  and — as  portrayed  by  Drayton's  pathetic  verse — 

"  There  Dutton,  Dutton  kills, 
A  Done,  doth  kill  a  Done." 

A  suit  of  armour  still  hangs  from  the  upper  walls  of  Tarporley 
Church,  which  in  all  probability  is  the  same  worn  by  John  Done  when 
he  fell  at  Blore  Heath.     It  is  said  that  a  few  years  ago  there  was  a

small  monumental  tablet  recording  this, — but  owing  to  alterations  in 
the  Church,  this  interesting  memento  is  supposed  to  have  been  removed 
or  destroyed. 

Frequent  intermarriages  of  the  Dones  with  other  great  families  in 
Cheshire  took  place  as  a  natural  consequence  to  their  relative  associ- 
ations and  possessions.  This  family  is  allied  to  one  of  the  notably 
oldest  families  of  the  county,  the  Venables  of  Utkintou,  a  race  spoken 
of  as  "  a  race  of  warriors."  It  would  be  from  these  men  probably 
that  the  Dones  got  their  inherited  powers  and  dominion  to  rule  ;  and 
were  there  no  other  fact,  the  Arms  of  Done  as  given  by  Ormerod,  are 
sufficient  proof  as  to  the  connection  between  the  immediate  and  su-

1580  two  lions  gardant  are  given  as  supporters  of  the  Done  arms.

branches  of  the  family  in  the  house  of  Kinderton  their  barony,  and 
by  a  further  addition  of  "  three  arrows  "  in  allusion  to  their  office  of 
Hereditary  Chief  Foresters,  which  in  the  first  place  was  got  by  the 
aforesaid  marriage  of  a  Done  with  a  Kingsley. 

The  Arms  of  Done  are  thus  described  in  Burke's  General  Armoury  :

Edmondson  in  his  Complete 
Work  of  Heraldry,  vol.  n,

as  springing  from  Ireland  and 
gives  the  Arms  as  a  Unicorn 
salient  ar.  on  a  field  azure, 
crustily  or.  Sir  Bernard  Burke 
copies  the  Doane  shield  from 
Edmondson,  in  his  General 
Armoury,  3rd  edition,  1850, 
but  omits  it  from  all  later 
editions. 

The   reproduction   on   the 
opposite  page  is  from  a  pho- 
tograph   found     in     several 
branches    of    the   American 
family  and  is  the  Doane  Arms  described  by  Edmondson. 

The  first  and  chief  residence  of  the  Done  family  appears  to  have 
been  at  the  old  hall  of  Utkinton,  yet  of  the  first  earliest  mansion  it 
is  thought  that  not  a  vestige  probably  now  remains,  unless  indeed  it 
be  some  of  the  ponderous  foundation  stones,  covered  with  moss  and 
overshadowed  by  a  rank  vegetation  of  tall  grass,  nettles  and  other 
verdure,  showing  partly  a  grated  iron  bound  window  inevitably  sug- 
gestive of  the  gloomy  portals  of  a  prison,  sometimes  mentioned  in 
Pleas  of  the  Forest,  and  of  a  whispered  note  among  older  inhabitants 
of  the  district  of  a  said-to-be  "  blank  "  in  the  Done  Pedigree,  or  of 
some  oft-told  and  weird  tale  of  a  "  missing  heir;"  for  it  so  happens 
in  the  County  of  Cheshire,  that  if  an  old  hall  or  an  ancient  manor  have

not  a  ghost  story,  it  must  needs  have  something  of  a  like  nature; 
either  blood  stains  that  cannot  be  washed  off,  or  some  locked  up 
mystery  wholly  unfathomable  to  the  mind  that  feeds  on  it.  Still,  at 
the  same  time,  Ormerod  in  this  family's  pedigree  does  make  mention 
of  a  Done,  whose  personality  cannot  be  traced,  as  no  certain  entry 
of  his  death  or  burial  had  been  found. 

With  regard  to  the  family  of  Done,  as  well  as  the  Dones  of 
Utkinton  there  were  Dones  of  "  Dudden"  and  Dones  of  "  Flax- 
yards."  Dudden  is  a  small  hamlet  two  miles  from  Utkinton  and 
in  the  direction  of  Tarvin,  where 
is  a  fine  old  Church  in  which 
parish  registers  are  entries  of 
the  Dones  of  Dudden  as  well  as 
a  tablet  in  the  church  to  the 
same.  Of  the  old  hall  of  Dud- 
den, their  former  residence,  one 
interesting  old  gable  yet  re- 
mains. Of  Flax-yards,  the  house 
now  turned  into  a  farm-house, 
still  carries  with  it  an  imposing 
formality  with  its  many  win- 
dowed front,  its  dark-toned 
brick  and  stone  facings.  In  a 
quaintly  worded  journal,  where 
the  author  seems  to  have  visited 
various  points  of  interest  in  the 
neighborhood,  he  alludes  as  fol- 
lows to  Flaxy ards  and  the 
Dones  :  "  Near  to  Tarporley, 
we  see  indeed,  the  ruins  of  a 
house,    yet  with    no    decay   of 

the  name  or  the  owners  thereof,  the  ancient  seat  of  the  Dones, 
between  whom  and  the  Dones  of  Utkinton  I  have  heard  was  no  little 
emulation  until  it  pleased  God,  the  heirs  male  of  Utkinton  failing  were 
glad  to  knit  with  the  Dones  of  Flaxyards,  that  so  the  union  by  mar- 
riage might  make  one  greater  name,  as  now  in  the  person  of  the 
worthy  Knight  Sir  John  Done  of  Utkinton,  a  gentleman  replete  in 
many  excellencies  of  nature,  wit  and  ingenuity." 

The  portrait  reproduction  of  Sir  John  and  Lady  Done  has    been 
photographed  from  an  ancient  painting  now  hanging  in  Marple  Hall,

near  Stockport.  There  is  a  similar  portrait  of  Sir  John  Done  at 
Arderne  Hall,  the  property  of  the  Karl  of  Haddington.  The  picture 
is  well  preserved,  though  dark  in  tone,  and  the  figure  appears  to  have 
been  depicted  as  wearing  the  Bugle  Horn. 

This  Sir  John  Done,  born  1576  and  died  Apr.  13,  1G29,  was 
knighted  by  King  James  I  in  1617.  He  married  Dorothy,  eldest 
daughter  of  Thomas  Wilbraham  of  Woodhey,  Esq.,  and  with  his 
youthful  bride  went  to  reside  for  some  time,  according  to  the  desire 
of  his  father-in-law,  in  the  house  of  the  celebrated  John  Bruen  of 
Stapleford,  in  order  to  be  schooled  in  the  principles  and  habits  of 
Puritanism.  They  imbibed  Presbyterian  tenets,  and  on  the  troubles 
of  the  17th  century  the  family  adopted  the  cause  of  Parliament. 
Tradition  still  speaks  of  the  hospitalities  of  Utkinton  Hall  during 
the  occupancy  of  this  Sir  John  Done,  the  last  possessor  of  the 
ancient  line.  His  lady,  Dorothy  Done,  was  possessed  of  such  ami- 
ableness  of  temper  and  excellency  of  character  that  when  a  Cheshire 
man  would  express  excellency  in  the  fair  sex,  he  will  say :  "As  fair 
as  Lady  Done,"  or"  There's  a  Lady  Done  for  you,"  both  of  which 
are  well  known  proverbs  to  this  day  in  Cheshire.  The  year  following 
the  death  of  Sir  John  Done  the  direct  male  line  of  his  family  termi- 
nated in  his  son.  The  forestership  then  became  the  property  of  the 
eldest  daughter,  Miss  Jane  Done,  on  whose  death  in  1662,  it  passed 
to  the  Crewes  in  right  of  Mary,  second  daughter  of  Sir  John  Done  ; 
and  on  the  termination  of  this  line,  it  passed  in  1715,  to  the  grand- 
sou  of  Eleanor,  youngest  daughter  of  Sir  John  Done,  thence  to  John 

Arderne,  Esq. 

A  number  of  the  old  pictures  with  the  Bugle  Horn  and  other  fam- 
ily relics,  had  been  left  at  the  old  Hall  of  Utkinton  until  the  year 
1629,  when  in  default  of  male  heirs  the  estate  passed  by  female  heir- 
esses to  the  Crewes  and  Ardernes.  A  considerable  number  of  the 
pictures  had  been  removed  to  Harden  hall  near  to  Stockport,  some 
of  them  family  portraits,  and  one  especially  interesting  from  an  his- 
toric point  of  view,  being  that  of  Mrs.  Jane  Lane,  said  to  be  a  Done. 
This  lady  had  distinguished  herself  in  history  by  having  assisted  the 
escape  of  Charles  II.  after  the  battle  of  Worcester.  The  figure  is 
represented  as  concealing  the  crown  covered  by  a  black  veil  and  on 
the  scroll  the  words,  Sic  jurat  ire  sub  umbra. 

These  pictures  were  afterward  removed  to  the  town  house  of  the 
Ardernes,  a  fine  old  timber  and  plaster  house,  situated  on  the  Under- 
bauk,  Stockport.

On  the  side  of  the  forest,  north  of  Utkinton,  are  frequent  evi- 
dences of  consecutive  narrow  lanes,  mostly  tending  from  a  point  on 
the  Forest,  known  as  the  "Old  Pale,"  a  sort  of  enclosure  where  deer 
were  kept.  These  lanes  are  narrow  and  come  more  under  the  term 
"jetty,"  an  obsolete  Cheshire  word  not  much  used  now,  signifying  a 
lane  too  narrow  for  a  vehicle,  but  with  high  sheltering  banks  or 
hedges  clothed  with  verdure,  the  hawthorn,  honeysuckle  and  bram- 
ble. The  lanes  all  tend  in  the  direction  of  Utkinton,  making  as  it 
were  the  Old  Hall  a  focns  for  the  same,  showing  that  in  those  days 
Utkinton  Hall  with  the  demesne  thereof  was  a  center  of  considerable 
importance.  The  main  door  of  entrance  to  Utkinton  Hall  seems  to  have 
been  always  from  the  north  side  and  is  approached  by  a  gateway 
similar  in  character  to  the  blocked-up  one  as  shown  in  the  drawing. 


4# 


GATEWAY  AT  UTKINTON. 

This  gateway  is  upon  the  east  side,  following  which  are  the  re- 
mains of  the  Moat  and  an  old  Malting  house.  With  the  moat  is  con- 
nected a  sad  tale,  telling  of  how  a  little  girl,  the  daughter  of  a  Done, 
had  fallen  into  the  water  while  gathering  primroses  and  was  drowned. 

The  high  wall  enclosing  the  gardens  is  of  old  brick  with  stone  fac- 
ings, stone  balls  surmounting  the  gateways,  which  with  the  walls  are

lichen  stained  and  bear  the  soft  grey  tints  common  to  all  old  build- 
ings. The  broad  oak  door  opens  direct  into  the  spacious  entrance 
hall  measuring  some  thirty  to  forty  feet  square  and  in  height  is  some- 
what low  in  proportion  to  the  surface  area.  The  floor  is  of  smooth 
laid  Yorkshire  flag,  while  from  the  center  springs  a  huge  pillar  of  oak, 
measuring  in  girth  some  nine  feet,  and,  extending  through  two  upper 
floors,  has  given  rise  to  the  term  roof-tree,  which  same  tree  had  prob- 
ably in  the  neighboring  forest  ranked  as  a  monarch  among  his  kind. 

Against  the  side  walls  of  the  ancient  apartment  arc  some  fine 
pieces  of  old  oak  furniture  highly  carved  and  dark  with  age ;  one  a 
high  backed  settee,  another  a  heavily  carved  barcase  or  cupboard, 
holding  ware  of  an  old  date,  while  upon  side  tables  are  capacious 
punch  bowls  of  fine  old  china,  showing  that  Utkinton,  in  the  days 
gone  by,  had  held  cordial  disposition  to  a  generous  hospitalit}7.  Upon 
one  of  the  walls  of  the  apartment  there  hang  two  life-size  portraits 
painted  upon  wood  ;  one  is  of  a  man,  who  from  his  dress  and  appur- 
tenances represents  one  of  the  so-called  "running  footmen,"  no  doubt 
one  of  those  included  in  the  category  of  what  was  called  a  quarter 
knights  fee  as  given  in  Time  of  Richard  II,  viz. — when  a  Richard 
Done,  in  131 1 ,  held  post  over  ther  Forest  of  Mara,  there  was  given  him 
a  horseman  with  eight  footmen  under  him,  to  keep  the  forest  then 
valued  at  £10.10.3.  The  term  "  running  footman  "  has  been  handed 
down  from  a  long  past  period.  The  service  seemed  to  be  to  act  as 
swift  runners,  and  it  was  in  this  capacity  that  they  were  attached  to 
the  households  of  great  families.  A  tale  has  been  handed  down  by 
this  man,  that  having  been  deputed  by  his  master  to  carry  what  was 
thought  to  be  a  missive  of  importance  to  the  London  coach,  which  in 
the  old  coaching  days  passed  through  Tarporley  at  a  certain  hour  of 
the  day  or  night,  he  failed  to  do  this,  and  fearing  it  is  supposed  the 
certain  anger  of  his  master  he  stabbed  himself. 

These  portraits  were  brought  from  the  residence  of  the  Flaxyard 
Doues,  and  had  been  cut  from  panels.  The  deep  rich  tones  of  color 
in  them  have  been  retained  in  a  wonderful  manner.  In  the  highest  or 
roof  story  of  Utkinton  Hall,  called  the  turrets,  lies  in  the  partial  light 
under  the  great  oak  beams,  a  heterogeneous  mixture  of  all  manner  of 
interesting  objects:  spinning  wheels  out  of  use,  broken  oak  chairs 
and  tables,  bundles  of  thatching,  string  and  stout  yard  brooms  with 
the  etcetera  of  every  day  farm  life. 

From  the  chief  landing  opens  out  the  door  leading  into  what  is  yet 
called  the  "  King's  chamber."     This  would  he  the  room  occupied  by

James  I,  when  he  visited  Utkinton  in  1617.  The  broad  seated  win- 
dows overlook  the  quaintly  nagged  terrace  below,  where  doubtless,  in 
the  days  gone  by,  had  walked  many  a  gay  cavalier  or  courtly  gentle- 
man in  ruffles  and  flue  lace,  or  perchance,  one  hard  and  stern  of  coun- 
tenance booted,  spurred  and  ready  for  action,  as  it  is  pretty  well 
known  that  at  the  time  of  the  Commonwealth  the  hall  had  been  routed 
and  pressed  and  divested  of  many  of  its  valuables.  The  plate  is  still 
said  to  be  buried  in  some  part  of  the  hall  gardens,  and  there  are  the 
remains  of  the  subteraneous  passage  said  to  come  out  at  Ash  hill. 
Cannon  balls  have,  from  time  to  time,  been  dug  up  in  the  vicinity, 
and  upon  the  other  side  the  lane  opposite  the  hall,  is  a  spacious  walled- 
iu  enclosure,  supposed  to  have  been  formerly  used  for  games  or 
practice  with  the  firelock. 

Inside  the  halls  gardens,  still  lie  in  places,  the  crumbling  and  fallen 
plaster  ;  fragments  of  stone  carving ;  the  fluted  urn  fallen  from  its 
high  pedestal ;  the  stone  head,  which,  face  upwards  to  the  sun,  seems 
grinning  discordance  on  the  scene  around—"  So  passeth  the  glory  of 
this  world  !" 

The  Done  Monuments,  still  to  be  seen  in  Tarporley  Church,  are 
very  striking  examples  of  the  fine  arts.  Sculptured  in  marble  they 
retain  in  a  great  degree  their  purity  and  whiteness,  while  in  the  evi- 
dent care  and  truthfulness  of  execution  they  show  excellent  workman- 
skip  and  artistic  skill.  The  foremost  and  recumbent  figure  is  that  of 
Mrs.  Mary  Crewe  (a  Done),  wife  of  John  Crewe,  Esq.,  who  was  af- 
terwards Sir  John  Crewe  and  resided  at  Utkinton  Hall. 

The  other  figure  is  that  of  Miss  Jane  Done,  a  lady  of  widely  phil- 
anthropic views,  and  whose  charitable  bequests  are  still  of  note  in 
Tarporley. 

The  wording  of  the  front  of  the  monument  reads  as  follows : 

Near  this  place  lies  the  body  of  Jane  Done,  eldest  daughter  of  John  Done 
of  Utkinton  in  this  County  Palatine  of  Chester,  Knight,  and  one  of  the  co- 
heirs of  John  Done  his  son,  Esquire.  She  was  baptised  Nov.  14,  1600. 
And  in  virgin  state  and  great  reputation  lived  remarkably  eminent  for  parts 
and  prudence,  affability  and  generosity,  charity  and  piety.  Besides  her 
daily  alms-giving  and  good  deeds,  she  gave  twenty  pounds  charged  upon 
certain  lands  in  Tarporley  to  be  yearly  paid  to  the  School  adjacent  forever, 
and  two  hundred  pounds  now  charged  upon  lands  in  Tattenhall  for  the 
binding  poor  children  in  Tarporley  and  Utkinton  apprentices.  She  was 
a  most  tender  lover  of  her  no  less  affectionate  sister  Mary  Crewe,  upon 
whom,  and  her  heirs,  she  settled  her  proportion  of  ye  estate.  And  from 
whom  she  never  parted  till  the  day  of  her  death,  May  2,  1G22.

The  second  foremost  tablet  of  the  monument  reads  as  follows  :

Randle  Crewe  of  Crewe  in  this  county.  She  was  born  at  Utkinton,  July  12, 
1604,  married  at  Stockport  Church,  Dec.  1, 1636  and  had  four  children,  viz.  : 
a  daughter  born  at  Harden,  Oct.  3,  1637,  and  buried  at  the  chapel  at  Stock-

DEACON  JOHN  DOANE 


AND 


HIS  DESCENDANTS. 


1  JOHN1  DOANE  came  over  from  England  and  settled  in  Ply- 
mouth. He  was  the  founder  of  the  Doane  family  in  America. 
Nothing  is  yet  known  of  his  history  in  England,  but  the  same  is  true 
also  of  the  greater  number  of  the  Pilgrims  who  repaired  to  these  New 
England  shores  before  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  century.  A 
record  was  kept  of  those  emigrants  who  on  leaving  England  took  the 
oath  of  loyalty  to  the  English  Crown  and  promised  conformity  to 
the  Established  Church.  As  a  large  number  desired  to  avoid  this 
enforced  allegiance  and  to  settle  in  the  land  of  their  adoption,  free 
to  follow  their  own  religious  inclinations,  they  took  no  legal  depar- 
ture but  sailed  away  with  more  or  less  secrecy  and  were  therefore 
not  enrolled  in  the  official  records  of  the  government. 

Of  John  Doane's  early  life,  of  his  parentage,  the  place  of  his  na- 
tivity, the  family  name  of  his  wife,  the  name  of  the  vessel  on  which 
he  came  nothing  whatever  has  yet  been  discovered.  From  the  fact 
that  he  was  one  of  the  principal  men  in  the  affairs  of  the  Plymouth 
Colony,  we  infer,  however,  that  he  was  heir  to  a  good  birthright, 
that  in  some  broad  field  education  and  friction  had  developed  a  man- 
hood and  strength  of  character  that  inspired  the  confidence  of  his 
Plymouth  associates. 

John  Doane  was  the  first  of  the  name  in  America  and  was  the  pro- 
genitor of  a  numerous  posterity.  Savage's  Genealogical  Dictionary 
of  New  England,  Vol.  n,  p.  55,  gives  a  John  Done,  aged  16,  who 
embarked  at  London  on  the  Truelove  in  Sept.,  1635  ;  also  a  Henry 
Doane  of  Watertown  1643,  and  a  Richard  Doane  of  Rhode  Island  in 
1672.  It  has  been  suggested  that  John  of  the  Truelove  was  the  son 
of  John  Doane  of  Plymouth.    In  1706,  John  Doane,  Jr.,  of  Plymouth 

(1) 


*  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

was  about  seventy-one  years  old,  according  to  his  own  testimony  in 
his  will,  and  therefore  was  born  about  1635,  the  year  the  Truelove 
sailed  from  London. 

The  year  of  John  Doane's  arrival  in  the  Plymouth  Colony  can  be 
only  approximately  determined.  The  Rev.  Enoch  Pratt,  in  his  His- 
tory of  Eastham,  published  in  1844,  states  that  he  came  over  in  one 
of  the  "three  first  ships,"  but  his  authority  is  not  given.  It  is  now 
certain  however  that  he  did  not  come  in  the  Mayflower,  Fortune  or 
Ann,  the  first  three  ships  to  arrive  at  Plymouth.  His  name  does  not 
appear  in  the  list  of  Plymouth  settlers  in  1627,  when  the  lands  of  the 
Colony  were  divided  among  the  members  of  the  community.  In  the 
notice  of  his  daughter  Abigail's  death  found  on  page  21  of  this  book, 
it  is  stated  that  he  "came  to  Plymouth  with  his  wife  in  1630."  This 
notice,  printed  in  a  Boston  newspaper  in  1735,  is  tolerably  good  evi- 
dence as  to  the  time  of  his  arrival  in  the  Plymouth  Colony.  Mr. 
Nahum  Mitchell,  author  of  the  History  of  Bridgeivater,  Mass.,  in  a 
letter  dated  Jan.  26,  1849,  says  :  "Mr.  John  Doane  came  over  to 
New  England  about  1629,  when  history  informs  us  that  thirty- five 
of  the  Leyden  Company,  with  their  families,  arrived  at  Plymouth. 
He  no  doubt  was  one  of  these  and  a  member  of  Mr.  Robinson's 
church." 

While  it  is  not  definitely  known  from  what  part  of  the  United 
Kingdom  originally  came  the  founder  of  the  Doane  family  in  Amer- 
ica, there  is  a  tradition  that  he  was  from  "Wales,  west  of  England." 
This  tradition  and  the  statement  in  Ormerod's  history,  that  the  last 
Sir  John  Done  of  the  Cheshire  family,  during  the  troubles  of  the 
seventeenth  century,  adopted  the  cause  of  parliament  and  imbibed 
Presbyterian  tenets,  lead  us  to  believe  that  our  American  ancestor 
descended  from  the  ancient  Dones  of  Cheshire.  The  Cheshire  family 
very  early  spread  out  into  Shropshire  and  other  counties  and  possibly 
into  Wales,  while  the  name  is  found  on  the  registers  of  several  of 
the  parish  churches  of  London  as  early  as  1590. 

John  Doane  was  a  prominent  man  in  Plymouth  as  soon  as  his  ar- 
rival there  about  1630.  He  was  one  of  the  few  who  bore  the  title  of 
"Mr."  The  Pilgrims  were  very  careful  to  give  no  titles  where  they 
were  not  due.  The  late  Amos  Otis,  genealogist  of  Early  Barnstable 
Families,  says : 

In  the  Plymouth  Colony  the  Governor,  deputy  governor,  the  magistrates 
and  assistants,  the  ministers  of  the  church,  school-masters,  officers  in  the 
militia,  men  of  great  wealth  or  connected  with  the  gentry  or  nobility  were 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  6 

entitled  to  be  called  Blister  and  their  wives  3Iistress;  this  rule  was  rigidly 
enforced  in  earlier  Colonial  times,  and  in  all  lists  of  names  it  was  almost 
the  universal  custom  to  commence  with  those  who  stood  highest  in  rank 
and  to  follow  that  order  to  the  end. 

John  Doaue  must  have  been  known  to  the  Pilgrims  previous  to  his 
coming  to  Plymouth.  There  are  strong  suggestions  that  he  was  in 
partnership  with  Ml  John  Atwood  who  was  of  London  until  1635. 
The  Done  family  are  found  in  London  at  this  period  and  in  former 
generations  there  were  not  a  few  John  Dones.  He  was  a  strong 
man.  His  associates  and  the  offices  he  was  bidden  to  undertake  by 
the  Governor,  the  Court  and  by  the  suffrages  of  his  townsmen,  show 
him  to  have  been  a  man  of  superior  quality.  A  larger  knowledge  of 
his  ancestry  and  of  his  previous  career  will  confirm,  we  have  no  doubt, 
this  estimate  we  make  of  him.  This  knowledge  will  be  a  source  of 
delight  and  inspiration  to  his  numerous  descendants. 

The  following  verbatim  et  literatim  extracts  are  from  the  several  vol- 
umes of  the  Records  of  the  Colony  of  New  Plymouth  in  New  England, 
edited  by  Nathaniel  B.  Shurtleff,  M.D.  and  printed  by  the  Common- 
wealth of  Massachusetts  in  1855.  These  extracts  comprise  all 
references  of  importance  to  John  Doane  found  in  the  Colony 
records.  The  notes  are  information  and  explanations  drawn  from 
various  sources,  some  of  which  sources  are  noted.  In  many  cases 
we  suppose  there  are  reasons  for  debate,  but  this  has  not  been 
entered  upon.  The  purpose  of  these  extracts  and  notes  is  to  show 
the  career  in  Plymouth  of  Deacon  John  Doane,  not  to  show  a  man 
above  his  fellows,  but  a  strong  man  among  strong  men.

[Apr.  8,  1633]  Whereas  Walter  Harris  had  bound  himself  by  in- 
denture to  serve  Mr.  John  Atwood  of  Lond.  under  the  comand  of 
Mr.  John  Done  of  New  Plymouth  for  the  space  of  five  yeares,  the 
said  John  Done  hath  sold  all  right,  title  &  claime  to  the  said  service 
unto  Henry  Howland,  by  consent  of  the  said  Walter  for  &  in  consid-

London :  and  his  services  were  sold  by  Mr.  Atwood  for  a  period  of  five 
years.  This  lease  of  Harris'  service  was  transferred  by  John  Done  in  April, 
1633  to  Henry  llowland  for  £14  sterling. 

[July  1,  1633]  That  Capt.  Myles  Standish,  John  Done,  Stephen 
Hopkins,  Joshuah  Prat,  Edward  Bangs,  Jonathan  Brewster  &  Rob 
Heeks  devide  the  medow  grownd  in  the  bay  equally  according  to  the

[Oct.  28,  1633]  At  this  Court  John  Done  presented  an  inventory 
of  the  goods  and  chattels  of  Martha  Harding  deceased,  who  in  be- 
half of  her  son  was  allowed  the  administracon  of  the  said  Martha. 
— Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  i,  p.  18. 

Note.  The  widow  Martha  Harding  was  taxed  in  Plymouth  in  1632,  and 
was  living  there  in  March,  1633.  It  has  been  suggested  that  she  was  a  sister 
of  Mr.  John  Doane.  Martha  Harding's  inventory  was  presented  Oct.  28, 
1633.  It  states  that  she  died  without  will,  leaving  a  son  in  the  custody  of 
Mr.  John  Done,  in  behalf  of  whom  Mr.  Done  is  allowed  to  administer.  Her 
estate  amoiinted  to  £20. 18. s  6.  Her  debts  to  £33. 9s  1.  John  Done  charges 
her  estate  with  £9.  9.s  1  money  lent  to,  or  paid  out  for  Martha  Harding. 
Phoebe  Harding  married  John  Brown,  Jr.,  of  Duxbury,  Mar.  26,  1634. 
Winnifred  Harding  married  Thomas  Whitten  in  1639.  John  Harding  was 
probably  the  "  Capt.  Harding  "  sent  to  treat  with  the  Narragansetts  ml  645. 
In  1652,  Joseph  Harding  of  Eastham  was  presented  to  the  Grand  Enquest, 
"  for  carrying  an  Indian's  gun  into  the  smith's  to  bee  mended  in  his  uncle's 
name."  Would  John  Doane  have  paid  out  over  nine  pounds  for  the  widow 
Harding,  if  she  was  not  a  relative?  Unless  a  relative,  would  Martha  Hard- 
ing have  left  a  son  to  the  custody  of  John  Doane  when  she  evidently  had 
other  children  in  Plymouth  grown  to  manhood  and  womanhood? 

[Nov.  11,  1G33]  It  was  ordered  that  whereas  Peter  Browne  died 
without  will,  leaving  divers  children  by  divers  wives,  his  estate 
amounting  to  an  hundred  pounds  or  thereabouts  it  is  ordered  that 
Mary  his  wife  who  is  allowed  the  administracion  of  the  said  Peter, 
forwith  pay  downe  fifteen  powncls  for  the  use  of  Mary  Browne,  daugh- 
ter of  the  said  Peter,  to  Mr.  Joh  Done  of  Plymoth  aforesaid  wUl 
whom  the  said  Court  have  placed  the  said  Mary  for  nine  yeeares ;  at 
the  end  whereof  the  said  John  is  to  make  good  the  said  fifteen  pownds 
to  her  or  her  heires,  if  in  case  she  die. — Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  i,  p.  18. 

[Oct.  10,  1644]  Memorand,  the  tenth  of  October  1644,  that 
whereas  Mr.  John  Doane  had  some  tyme  since  xv11,  the  childs

shee  should  accomplish  the  age  of  seventeene  yeares,  and  should  have 
the  use  of  the  said  p'con  until  then.  Now  the  said  terme  oeing  ex-

shall  be  marryed  or  thought  fitt  to  marry,  whereunto  the  said  Mary 
hath  consented. — Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  ri,  p.  76. 

Note.  Peter  Browne  came  in  the  Mayflower  in  1620.  He  deceased  before 
Oct.  10,  1633.  His  last  wife  was  Mary  who  administered  upon  his  estate. 
The  daughter  Mary  who  for  eleven  years  was  under  the  guardianship  of 
John  Done,  in  1644  chose  her  uncle  John  Browne  of  Duxbury  as  her  guar- 
dian. The  daughter  Priscilla  was  under  the  guardianship  of  Wm.  Gilson 
and  likewise  chose  her  uncle  John  Browne,  in  1644,  as  her  guardian. — Vide 
N.  E.  Hist,  and  Geneal.  Begister,  1883 :  p.  276. 

[Nov.  11,  1633]  At  this  Court  Phineas  Prat  appointed  to  take 
into  his  possession  all  the  goods  &  chattels  of  Godbert  Godbertson 
&  Sarah  his  wife  &  safley  to  preserve  them  according  to  an  inven- 
tory upon  oath  to  be  true  and  just  by  Mr.  John  Done  &  Mr.  Steph. 
Hopkins. — Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  i,  p.  19. 

[Feb.  14,  1633-4]  Joh  Coomb,  gent,  hath  sold  unto  Joh  Done 
&  his  heires  forever  a  dwelling  howse  &  misted  wth  the  inclosure  & 
out  bowsing  thereunto  belonging  next  adjoining  to  the  late  dwelling 
howse  of  Godbert  Godbertson  on  the  West  side  thereof  &  the  herring 
wire  on  the  est.  for  &  in  consideracon  of  nine  pownds,  ten  shillings, 
whereof  eight  pownds  to  be  paid  to  Mr.  Will.  Bradford  &  the  other 
thirty  shillings  to  Josias  Wynslow. — Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  i,  p.  25. 

Note.  Godbert  Godbertson,  who  was  fromLeyden,  came  to  Plymouth  in 
1623.  He  contracted  marriage  with  Sarah,  a  sister  of  Isaac  Allerton,  was 
in  full  communion,  says  Winslow,  with  the  purposes  of  this  English  com- 
pany in  Holland  and  New  England.  He  died  in  1633.  The  estate  in  1633 
was  appraised  by  Mr.  John  Done  and  Mr.  Stephen  Hopkins.  It  is  possible 
that  Sarah  the  wife  of  Godbertson  had  been  the  widow  of  John  Vincent 
and  of  Degory  Priest  and  that  her  daughters  Mary  and  Sarah,  who  became 
the  wives  of  John  Coombs  and  Phineas  Pratt,  were  daughters  of  Degory 
Priest.  It  would  appear  that  the  estate  of  Godbert  Godbertson  and  wife 
Sarah  was  much  involved.  The  same  date  on  which  John  Done  was  ap- 
pointed an  appraiser  of  the  personal  effects  of  the  family  in  possession  of 
Phineas  Pratt,  he — John  Done — bought  of   John  Coombs  house  and  land 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  7 

adjoining  the  homestead  of  Godbertson.  The  estate  of  Godbertson  may 
have  largely  belonged  to  his  wife  Sarah  and  possibly  it  was  really  the  rem- 
nants of  the  estate  of  Degory  Priest.  It  is  a  debated  question  whether 
John  Coombs  and  Phineas  Pratt  married  daughters  of  Degory  Priest. 
They  certainly  were  the  daughters  of  Sarah,  the  wife  of  Godbert  Godbert- 
son. The  families  were  all  highly  connected,  but  have  afforded  several 
genealogical  puzzles. 

[January  2,  1633-34]  At  this  Court  Mr.  John  Done  being  for- 
merly chosen  to  the  office  of  a  deacon  in  the  Church  at  the  request  of 
the  Church  &  himselfe  was  freed  from  the  office  of  an  Assistant  in 
the  Comon  Weale. — Ply. Col.  Bec.Vol.  i,  p.  23. 

Note.  John  Doane  preferred  to  be  a  Deacon  in  the  Church  rather  than 
an  Assistant  to  the  Governor  in  the  affairs  of  the  Colony.  His  position 
would  suggest  that  he  deemed  the  offices  inconsistent  one  with  the  other. 
The  question  of  the  day  was  "separation"  and  "independence;"  hence  we 
can  slightly  appreciate  his  course  of  thought  in  deciding.  Nevertheless,  Mr. 
Doane,  henceforth,  was  frequently  summoned  to  act  upon  committees  for 
the  welfare  of  the  community. 

Note.  The  Plymouth  policy  of  separating  Church  and  State  was  this 
year  illustrated  in  the  case  of  John  Doane,  who,  having  been  elected  and 
ordained  deacon,  was  for  that  reason  voluntarily  discharged  as  one  of  the 
Governor's  Council. — Goodwin's  Pilgrim  Bepublic,  p.  376. 

Note.  In  1633  a  fever  carried  off  Thomas  Blossom  and  Richard  Master- 
son  of  the  late  comers.  They  were  deacons  of  the  church  at  Plymouth. 
Their  offices  were  filled  by  Wm.^Paddy  and  John  Doane,  also  recent  comers.

8  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Note.  Stephen  Deane,  who  came  in  the  Fortune  in  1621,  was  a  miller.  In 
1632,  he  desired  "to  sett  up  a  water-worke  to  beat  corn."  In  this  he  was  en. 
couraged.  He  deceased  in  Sept.,  1634.  In  July.  1635,  John  Doane  was  one 
of  a  committee  to  build  a  mill.  The  project  of  a  public  mill  was  futile,  for 
in  March,  1636,  John  Jenny  was  given  liberty  to  build  the  mill  which  was 
operated  by  him  and  his  son  for  more  than  forty  years. 

[Mar.  1,  1635-36]  It  was  ordered  that  Mr.  John  Done,  John 
Jenny,  Manasseh  Kempton,  Josuah  Pratt,  John  Winslow,  Edw. 
Bangs  &  Stephen  Tracy  be  added  to  the  Gov1'  &  Assistants  for  the 
ceasing  of  men  for  the  publick  charge  of  this  first  present  year. 
—Ply.  Col.  Pec.  Vol.  i,  p.  38. 

[Oct.  4,  1636]  The  ordnance  of  the  colony  &  corporation  being 
read,  divers  were  fownd  worthy  the  reforming,  others  the  rejecting 
&  others  fitt  to  be  instituted  &  made.  It  was  therefore  ordered  and 
agreed  that  four  for  the  town  of  Plymouth,  two  for  Scituate  and  two 
for  Duxburrow,  shall  as  Comittees  for  the  whole  be  added  to  the 
Gov1'  &  Assistants  to  rectefie  &  prepr  such  as  should  be  thought 
most  convenient,  that  if  approved  they  may  be  put  in  force  the  next 
Generall  Court.     The  p'ties  mencioned  for  the  towne  of  Plymouth.

[Nov.  15,  1636]  Whereas,  at  his  Malies  Court  held  the  4th  &  5th 
of  Octob1'  in  the  12th  yeare  of  the  raigne  of  our  Sov.  Lord  Charles  by 
the  Grace  of  God  King  of  Eng1  Scott,  ffr.  &  Irel.  Defender  of  the

Smith,  Mr.  John  Done  &  John  Jenny  for  the  Town  of  Plymouth : 
Jonathan  Brewster  &  Chris  [topher]  Wadsworth  for  Duxborrough  & 
James  Ciulworth  &  Anthony  Annable  for  Situate  should  be  (added) 
to  the  Gov1'  &  Assistants  as  Committees  for  the  whole  body  of  this 
Comon  weale  should  meete  together  the  15th  of  Nov1"  at  Plymouth 
above  menconed  and  there  to  p'  use  all  the  lawes  orders  &  consti- 
tucons  of  the  plantacons  in  this  Govenment,  so  that  those  that  are

&  (granted)  the  13th  of  January  1629  in  the  fefte  yeare  of  the  raigne

jects of  the  State  of  Engl,  we  hither  came  indewed  with  all  &  sin- 
gular the  priviledges  belong  to  such,  in  the  first  place  we  thinke  good 

that  it  be  establish (ed)  for  an  act.  That  according  to  the &  due 

priviledge  of  the  subject  aforesaid  no  imposicon  law  or  ordnance  be 
made  or  imposed  upon  us  by  ourselves  (or  others  at)  present  or  to 
come  but  such  as  shall  be  made  (or)  imposed  by  consent  according 
to  the  free  liberties  (of  the)  State  &  Kingdom  of  Engl.  &  no  other- 
wise.— Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  n,  p.  6. 

Note.  In  1636,  Elder  Brewster,  Pastor  Smith  and  Deacons  Doane  and 
Jenney  of  Plymouth,  Jonathan  Brewster  and  Christopher  Wadsworth  of 
Duxbury,  James  Cndworth  and  Anthony  Annable  of  Scituate  were  joined  to 
the  Governor  and  Council  for  the  preparation  of  a  regular  system  of  laws. 
They  began  with  the  declaration  of  the  Mayflower  Compact,  &c.  Until  now, 
1636,  there  was  no  law  establishing  the  offices  of  Governor,  Councillors  or 
Constables.  By  general  consent,  for  fifteen  years,  they  were  chosen  annu- 
ally.— Goodwin's  Pilgrim  Republic,  p.  401. 

Note.  They  assembled  according  to  the  Order  and  having  read  the  com- 
bination made  at  Cape  Cod  the  11th  of  Nov.,  1620,  on  board  of  the  Mayflower, 
they  performed  the  important  work  for  which  they  were  appointed.  This 
was  the  first  revision  of  the  laws  of  the  Colony ;  and  to  be  appointed  one  of 
the  Committee  for  this  work  was  a  mark  of  distinction  showing  that  Deacon 
Doane  was  respected  for  his  wisdom  and  integrity. — Pratt's  Hist,  of  Eastham, 
p.  16. 

[March  14,  1635-36]  That  widow  Billington  have  the  marsh 
against  her  owne  grownd  &  what  is  too  much  for  her  is  for  Mr.  Done. 
— Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  i,  p.  40. 

[June  7,  1636]  John  Done,  yeoman  entreth  an  acco  of  slander 
&  layeth  it  in  an  100lb  against  Helin  Billington  widow. — Ply.  Col. 
Rec.  Vol.  i,  p.  41. 

At  this  Court  an  action  of  slander  was  tried  between  John  Done, 
plaintiffe  &  Helin  Billington  defendant  wherein  the  defend1  was  cast 
in  five  pownds  starling  to  the  plaintife  and  adjudged  to  be  sett  in  the 
stocks  and  whipt. — Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  i,  p.  42. 

Note.  Billington's  name  seemed  for  a  time  to  be  one  of  ill-omen.  His 
widow  succeeded  to  his  farm  at  Plain  Dealing  (two  miles  North  of  Plymouth 
Kock),  and  for  her  cattle,  was,  in  1636,  authorized  by  the  Court  to  mow  the 
adjacent  grass ;  but  "  what  is  too  much  for  her  "  was  to  go  to  Deacon  John 
Doane.     A  controversy  ensued,  doubtless  as  to  tins  "  too  much,"  and  the 


10  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

deacon  charging  the  dame  with  slander  sued  for  £10  damages.  The  Court 
gave  the  complainant  nothing ;  but  evidently  finding  slander  very  flagrant 
sentenced  the  defendant  to  a  fine  of  £5,  to  sit  in  the  stocks  and  to  be  publickly 
whipped. — Goodwin's  Pilgrim  Republic,  p.  343. 

Note.  Nov.  25,  1633,  Mr.  Thomas  Prence  and  Mr.  John  Doane  were  ap- 
praisers upon  the  estate  of  Francis  Eaton.  The  last  wife  of  Francis  Eaton 
was  Christian  Penn,  who  afterwards  became  the  wife  of  Francis  Billington. 

[Dec.  30,  1636]  "Whereas  the  now  dwelling  howse  with  all  &  sin- 
gular the  outhousing,  lands  &  enclosures  in  the  use  &  occupacon  of 
John  Done  of  Plymouth,  neere  unto  Playne  Dealing,  were  in  p't'ner- 
ship  between  the  said  John  Done  &  John  At  wood,  late  of  London, 
Gent. :  Now  know  ye  that  upon  accounts  between  the  said  Job,  & 
John,  the  said  John  Atwood  for  &  in  consideracon  of  three  score 
pownds,  hath  bought  out  the  said  John  Done,  his  heires  &  assignes  so 
that  it  remayneth  wholly  to  the  said  John  Atwood  &  his  heires  for- 
ever.— Ply.  Col.  Bee.  Vol.  i,  p.  47. 

Note.  John  Atwood  died  abt.  1644.  He  came  over  from  London  about 
1635,  and  at  once  assumed  a  prominent  place  in  the  affairs  of  Plymouth.  He 
was  an  Assistant  to  the  Governor  in  1638  and  was  Deputy  for  Plymouth  from 
1641  to  his  death. 

He  was  treasurer  of  the  Colony  in  1641.  He  resided  near  the  "  Rock  "  in 
a  house  which  he  purchased  of  Governor  Prence.  His  widow  Ann  removed 
to  Boston.  She  deceased  June  1,  1654.  Wm.  Crowe  was  a  nephew  and 
Robert  and  Mary  Lee  were  kinsmen.  Both  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Atwood  left  wills. 
John  Atwood  was  prominent  and  wealthy.  At  times  he  was  called  John 
Wood.  His  Plymouth  estate  was  sold  to  Benjamin  Vermayes  who  married 
Mercy,  dau.  of  Gov.  Bradford.  The  scales  of  widow  Ann  Atwood  were 
declared  by  the  General  Court  to  be  "  standard."  In  1641,  Mr.  Atwood  was 
the  agent  of  James  Sherley  of  London.  Mr.  Sherley  was  ever  actively 
promoting  the  interests  of  the  people  of  Plymouth.  In  1624  he  made  a  gift 
to  Plymouth  and  also  in  1638. 

Note.  Several  are  the  instances  where  the  names  of  John  Atwood  and 
John  Doane  are  associated.  They  had  dealings  with  each  other  more  than 
two  years  before  the  coming  of  John  Atwood  from  London  about  1635,  and 
it  maybe  that  their  partnership  reached  farther  than  the  joint  ownership  of 
a  houselot  in  Plymouth.  Perhaps  Mr.  Doane  was  a  partner  in  business  in 
London  with  John  Atwood.  Mr.  John  Doane  and  Mr.  John  Atwood  were 
partners  in  a  dwelling  house  and  enclosures  near  unto  Playne  Dealing  in 
Plymouth  previous  to  Dec.  30, 1636,  not  long  after  Mr.  Atwood's  arrival  from 
London.  These  references  which  seemingly  unite  them  are  strong  sugges- 
tions not  only  of  partnership  in  Plymouth,  but  likewise  before  either  of  them 
ventured  to  the  Plymouth  Colony.  In  1636,  Mr.  Atwood  purchased  the  por- 
tion of  Mr.  Doane  by  the  payment  of  three  score  pounds.  They  had  further 
dealings  with  each  other,  and  June  2,  1639,  John  Doane  promised  at  the 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  11 

Court  of  Assistants  to  pay  John  Atwood  the  sum  of  £3.17*  sterling  within 
a  year  and  Mr.  Atwood  promised  to  forbear  until  that  time. 

[Mar.  7,  1636-7]  Concerning  the  trade  of  beaver,  corne  &  beads, 
&c.  wth  the  Indians,  it  is  agreed  by  the  consent  of  the  Court,  that 
they  that  now  have  yt  shall  hold  yt  untill  the  next  Court  the  be- 
gining  of  June;  and  then  further  conference  to  be  had  for  the 
mannageing  thereof,  that  such  further  course  may  be  taken  therein  as 
shalbe  thought  fitt.  And  in  the  meane  season  Mr.  Hopkins,  Mr. 
Atwood,  Mr.  Done  &  Jonathan  Brewster  shalbe  added  to  the  Gouvr 
and  Assistants  to  advise  upon  such  p'p'ositions  and  wayes  so  as  the 
said  trade  may  be  still  continued  to  the  benefit  of  the  Collony.— Ply. 
Col.  Bee.  Vol.  i,  p.  54.

Butler  of  Ducksborrow.—  Ply.  Col.  Bee.  Vol.  i,  p.  63. 

Note.  Thomas  Butler  removed  from  Duxbury  to  Sandwich  in  1640,  and 
returned  to  Duxbury  before  1657.  He  may  have  been  of  Lynn  before  1637. 
Just  why  Mr.  Doane  was  surety  for  him  is  not  known.  He  may  have  been 
one  of  his  workmen. 

[Oct.  2,  1637]  Seaven  acrees  of  land  are  graunted  to  William 
Hodgkinson  upon  the  north  side  of  Winslows  Walk  towards  the 
Cedar  Swamp  where  Mr.  Atwood  &  Mr.  Done  have  lands.— Ply.  Col. 
Bee.  Vol.  i,  p.  66. 

[Oct.  2,  1637]  Ten  acres  graunted  to  Mr.  John  Done  in  the  same 
place  (Playne  Dealing)  northward  from  Winslowes  Walk  toward  the 
Cedar  Swamp  to  belong  to  his  house  at  Plymouthe  &  to  be  therewth 
all  used  and  not  sold  from  it.—  Ply.  Col.  Bee.  Vol.  i,  p.  65. 

Note.  Deacon  John  Doane  had  frequent  grants  of  land  from  Court, 
which  must  have  been  because  of  his  many  services  in  behalf  of  the  Colony. 
He  was  continually  rendering  services  as  Deputy  from  Plymouth  or  Eastham 
and  serving  on  Committees  where  interests  were  at  stake  and  on  the  Grand 
Jury.  His  original  grant  at  Eastham  was  because  he  was  one  of  the  "  Pur- 
chasers "or  "Old  Comers;"  but  his  various  grants  at  Jones  River,  now 
Kingston,  at  Rehoboth,  to  the  north  of  Taunton,  etc.  etc.,  were  undoubtedly 
because  of  his  many  public  services. 

Note.  "Playne  Dealing,"  where  some  of  the  land  of  John  Doane  was 
situated,  was  at  "Seaside"  in  northern  part  of  the  present  Plymouth.  Wins- 
lows  "Walk"  (obsolete  word  for  pasture)  was  in  this  vicinity  also,  near 
High  Cliff.  "Doane's  Field,"  mentioned  in  many  records,  is  that  tract  em- 
braced largely  by  the  Plymouth  Cemetery  Association. 

[Sept.  14,  1637]     Mathew  Osborne  by  his  indenture  beareing  date 


12  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

the  third  day  of  May  in  the  xiii  year  of  his  Matios  now  raigne  &c. 
hath  bound  himself  apprentice  to  John  Read  of  Waymouth,  for  the 
terme  of  six  yeares  next  after  the  date  of  the  said  indenture  wUl  divers 
other  covenants  on  both  pts  to  prformed  contained  &  expressed  in 
the  said  indenture.  Now  the  said  John  Read  for  and  in  consideracon 
of  the  suine  of  eight  pounds  to  him  in  hand  payd  by  John  Done  of  New 
Plymouth  hath  with  and  by  the  consent  of  the  sd  Mathew  Osborne 
put  him  over  to  the  said  John  Done,  to  serve  all  the  residue  of  his 
tyme  according  to  the  s(1  indenture. — Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  i,  p.  65. 

Note.  Matthew  Osborne  was  probably  a  son  of  John  Osborne  of  Wey- 
mouth. He  deceased  in  1041  at  Weymouth.  His  age  was  not  stated,  but  he 
was  probably  a  man  grown  as  many  of  the  "indentured"  men,  indentured 
themselves  to  men  of  means  who  had  employment,  for  the  purpose  of  pay 
ing  their  passage  across  the  ocean  or  of  working  out  some  indebtedness 
caused  by  misfortune  or  loss  in  business. 

[June  4,  1639]  Mr.  John  Done  is  allowed  to  draw  wine  until  the 
next  Court. — Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  i,  p.  127. 

[June  2,  1640]  Also  we  p'sent  Mr.  Done  for  selling  wine  con- 
trary to  order  made  by  Court.  It  was  mistaken  by  the  grand  inquest 
and  so  he  was  discharged  by  the  Court  the  3rd  Septembr  1640,  and 
appoynted  by  the  Court  to  be  thus  rased  out. — Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  i, 
p.  156. 

[Jan.  7,  1644-5]  Whereas  Mr.  John  Done  is  lycensed  to  draw 
wyne  in  Plymouth,  and  that  James  Cole  is  likewise  lycensed  to  keepe 
the  ordinaiy  there  wch  is  very  inconvenyent  to  many  persons,  the 
Court  hath  therefore  lycensed  the  said  James  Cole  from  this  day

[Sept.  7,  1641]  Mr.  John  Done,  Mr.  Willm  Paddy  &  Nathaniell 
Sowther  are  appoynted  by  the  Court  to  view  James  Luxfords  bookes 
and  to  certify  the  Court  what  they  find  therein. — Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.

Note.  James  Luxford  ran  an  unsavory  course  during  his  years  in  New 
England.  He  was  of  Cambridge  and  of  Duxbury.  He  may  or  may  not  have 
deceased  when  the  committee  "  viewed  "  the  "  books." 

[Mar.  3,  1644-45]  It  is  ordered  that  Mr.  Miles  Standish,  Mr. 
John  Done  &  John  Dunhame  shall  take  the  accounts  of  Mr.  Thomas 
Prence  for  his  treasurership  of  its  receipts  and  payments  and  certefye

DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  13 

Note.  Governor  Prence  served  the  Plymouth  Colony  in  many  capacities. 
In  his  removal  to  Eastham  it  was  his  wish  to  retire  as  much  as  possible  from 
public  service.  The  above  auditorship  may  have  been  an  annual  affair,  but 
appears  to  have  been  the  closing  of  his  service  as  treasurer. 

Note.  Rev.  Ralph  Smith  came  to  New  England  in  1628.  In  1629  he  set- 
tled in  Plymouth  where  he  was  pastor  until  1636.  From  1631  to  1634  Rev. 
Roger  Williams  was  his  assistant.  Mr.  Smith  resigned  in  1636,  but  con- 
tinued to  reside  in  Plymouth  until  1642  when  he  removed  to  Manchester  to 
be  the  minister  of  the  church  there.  He  died  in  Boston  in  1661.  When  he 
removed  from  Plymouth,  John  Doane  as  agent  for  the  church  at  Plymouth 
gave  him  six  score  pounds  for  his  house,  buildings  and  garden  plot  together 
with  six  acres  in  the  "  Newfleld,"  and  every  other  right  he  may  have  in  Ply- 
mouth. This  home  of  the  pastor  was  soon  deeded  by  Deacon  John  Doane  to 
Rev.  John  Reyner,  who  served  as  minister  at  Plymouth  eighteen  years.  Rev. 
Mr.  Reyner  began  his  pastorate  about  1636  and  removed  to  Dover,  N.  H.,  in 
1644  where  he  died  in  1669. 

Note.  In  the  list  of  one  hundred  and  forty-seven  in  all  between  the  ages 
of  16  and  60  years,  able  to  bear  arms  in  Aug.,  1643,  are  the  following  who 
have  the  honorable  prefix  of  "  Mr."  attached  to  their  names.  There  were 
others  resident  in  Plymouth  who  at  this  time  were  not  able  to  bear  arms. 

William  Hanbury  William  Bradford 

John  Atwood  Thomas  Prence 

John  Done  John  Reynor 
William  Paddy 

[Sept.  27,  1642]  Mr.  Prence,  Mr.  Done,  Mr.  Paddy,  Mr.  Jenny 
and  Joshua  Pratt  are  appointed  to  lay  forth  all  the  lands  above 
graunted. — Ply.  Col.  Bee.  Vol.  n,  p.  48. 

About  this  time  there  was  a  desire  on  the  part  of  many  in  Plymouth 
to  take  up  new  lands.  The  new  charter  had  given  three  parcels  of 
land  into  the  hands  of  the  "  Old  Comers,"  and  these  people  were  on 
the  lookout,  for  land  which  could  be  more  profitably  cultivated. 
Nauset  or  Eastham  was  one  of  the  three  tracts  reserved  to  the  "Pur- 
chasers," on  the  transfer  of  the  Warwick  Patent  to  the  Colonists  in 
1641.  Affairs  at  Plymouth  had  not  been  prospering  as  formerly. 
There  was  not  sufficient  upland.  There  was  without  doubt  a  slight 
division  in  the  Church,  which  made  those  persons  of  similar  minds 
and  ambitions  to  think  of  removal  to  Nauset. 

In  1644  the  movement  towards  the  new  settlement  at  Nauset  began, 
but  the  final  removal  was  in  1645.  The  leaders  in  the  enterprise  were 
Ex  Governor  Thomas  Prence,  Deacon  John  Doane,  Nicholas  Snow, 
Josiah  Cooke,  Richard  Higgins,  John  Smalley  (Small)  and  Edward 
Bangs. 


14  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

The  fortunes  at  Plymouth  were  even  at  a  lower  ebb  after  this  emi- 
gration. Strong  men  in  Plymouth  had  already  deceased,  such  as 
Brewster,  Atwood,  Hopkins  and  Jenny  and  now  the  removal  of  other 
strong  leaders  brought  double  discouragement  to  the  hearts  of  the 
Pilgrims.  Bradford  and  Howland  still  remained,  but  they  were  aged. 
Bradford,  in  his  wonderful  history  says  :  "Thus  was  this  poor  church 
left  like  an  ancient  mother  grown  old  and  forsaken  of  her  children 
(though  not  in  their  affections),  until  she  had  made  many  rich  became 
herself  poor." 

[Feb.  19,  1645]  Memorand. — That  Mr.  John  Done  doth  acknowl- 
edg  that  for  and  in  consideration  of  the  sum  of  tenn  pownds  sterl. 
to  be  payd  by  Mr.  William  Hanbury  of  Plymouth  wth  in  the  space  of

the  said  John  Done  at  the  fall  or  spring. — Ply.  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  xu,  p. 
136. 

The  value  of  the  homestead  of  John  Doane  at  Plymouth  does  not 
betray  affluence.  On  removing  to  Nauset  he  sold  his  homestead  for 
£10.  Perhaps  his  business  ventures  in  common  with  others  had  not 
been  successful.  This  was  doubtless  a  large  reason  for  his  fresh 
adventure  at  Nauset  when  he  was  fifty-five  years  old.  But  rich  or 
poor  his  wisdom  and  counsel  were  ever  sought  and  respected. 

The  territory  of  Nauset,  purchased  of  the  Indians,  for  which  they 
paid  "moose  skins,  Indian  boats,  wampum  and  little  knives,"  em- 
braced the  greater  part  of  the  present  town  of  Orleans,  Eastham  and 
Wellfleet.  The  deed  from  the  Indians  confirmatory  of  the  purchase, 
was  given  Nov.  9,  1666.  Nauset  is  an  Indian  name,  and  was  ap- 
plied by  the  Aborigines  to  a  particular  locality  in  the  present  town 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  15 

of  Easthani.  Our  forefathers  gave  the  name  to  the  whole  purchase, 
and  so  it  was  called  until  1651,  when  the  Court  at  Plymouth  promul- 
gated an  order  that  henceforth  Nauset  should  be  called  Eastham. 

Deacon  Doane  settled  on  the  north  of  Town  Cove.  The  early 
records  do  not  show  the  amount  of  land  laid  out  to  him  at  the  time 
of  the  settlement.  The  History  of  Eastham  says  :  "He  took  pos- 
session of  about  two  hundred  acres,  and  his  house  stood  near  the 
water."  At  various  times  after  he  became  a  resident  of  Eastham  he 
bad  land  granted  him  by  the  Court  as  well  as  by  the  town.  It  is 
claimed  that  stone  posts  beariug  his  initials,  and  marking  the  bound- 
aries of  his  large  farm  were  standing  as  late  as  1844. 

Iu  Eastham  towu  affairs  John  Doane  was  an  important  man.  He 
was  appointed  by  the  Court  June  1,  1663,  to  solemnize  marriages  and 
to  administer  oaths  to  witnesses.  He  was  a  deacon  of  the  First 
Church  there  and  served  the  town  as  selectman  for  many  years.  In 
1649,  1650,  1651,  1653  and  1659  he  was  a  Deputy  to  the  Colony 
Court  for  Eastham  as  he  had  been  in  1642  and  1643  for  the  town  of 
Plymouth. 

On  Dec.  2,  1681,  John  Doane  conveyed  by  deed,  in  which  he  is 
styled  "Gent.,  Tayler,"  his  Eastham  homestead  to  his  daughter 
Abigail  as  appears  by  the  following  extract  from  Ply.  Col.  Rec. 
Vol.  5  of  Deeds,  p.  89  : 

"To  all  people  to  whom  these  prsents  shall  come.  Greeting.  Know 
yee  thatt  I,  John  Doane,  Gent.  Tayler  of  the  Towne  of  Eastham  in  the 
Jurisdiction  of  New  Plymouth  in  New  England  in  America,  for  divers  con- 
siderations, mee  thereunto  mouving,  and  especially  for  that  love  and  naturall 
affection,  which  I  bear  to  my  daughter  Abigaill  Doane;  hath  freely,  fully 
and  absolutely  given,  granted  infeoffed  and  confirmed;  and  by  these  prsents, 
doth  give,  graunt,  enfeoffe  and  confirm  unto  my  said  daughter  Abigaill 
Doane  of  the  Towne  and  Jurisdiction  aforesaid ;  to  her  and  her  heires, 
executors,  administrators  and  assignes,  forever,  my  dwelling  house  with 
all  the  upland  and  meddow  about  the  said  house ;  The  land  being'by  estima- 
tion twelve  acrees,  more  or  less,  and  two  acrees  of  meddow,  be  it  more  or 
lesse,  in  a  place  comonly  called  the  acrees,  or  the  Comon  Cove  in  the  boate 
meddow ;  The  said  house  land  and  meddow  is  sittuated  and  being  in  the 
Towne  shipp  of  Eastham ;  with  all  and  singular  the  appurtenances  to  the  said 
given  prmises,  or  any  yte  or  prsell  of  them  forever"  etc. 

In  his  will  dated  May  18,  1678,  Mr.  Doane  declares  his  age 
"eighty-eight  years  or  thereabouts."  If  his  own  statement  is  cor- 
rect he  was  born  not  far  from  1590.  He  died  Feb.  21,  1685,  aged 
about   ninety-five    years.     His    inventory   taken    by  his    neighbors 


16  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Joseph  Snow  and  Joshua  Bangs,  says  "aged  about  100  years."  His 
wife's  name  appears  as  Abigail.  They  were  undoubtedly  interred  in 
the  old  cemetery  at  Eastham,  the  first  burial  ground  of  the  town. 

On  Sept.  10,  1869,  a  Doane  Family  memorial  meeting  was  held  at 
Eastham  to  witness  the  erection  of  a  granite  post  on  the  site  of 
Deacon  John  Doane's  house.  This  site  is  on  the  eastern  side  of  the 
town,  perhaps  three  hundred  yards  from  the  waters  of  Nauset  Bay 
extending  to  the  south,  about  one-half  mile  from  the  Atlantic  shore 
and  two  and  one- half  miles  from  Barnstable  Bay  on  tbe  west.  The 
old  cellar  now  overgrown  with  wild  grass  is  in  a  field  of  about  fifteen 
acres,  owned  by  Mr.  Benjamin  Higgins.  The  stone,  a  rough  block 
of  granite,  was  erected  by  the  Hon.  John  Doane  of  Orleans  (291)  on 
which  occasion  an  historical  address  was  delivered  by  Heman  Doane, 
Esq.  (319)  followed  by  the  singing  of  an  original  hymn. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  all  documents  in  the  settlement  of  John 
Doane's  estate  found  in  the  Registry  of  Probate  at  Barnstable,  Mass.

SECOND  GENERATION. 


2  LYDIA2  DOANE  (John1)  was  born  probably  before  her 
parents  came  to  Plymouth.  She  married  Sept.  11,  1645,  Samuel  Hicks 
who  came  over  to  Plymouth  with  his  mother,  younger  brother  and 
sisters,  in  the  Ann,  in  1623.  His  father,  Robert  Hicks,  came  over 
in  the  Fortune,  in  1621,  and  was  one  of  the  foremost  of  the  Pilgrim 
fathers.  Samuel  Hicks  seems  to  have  been  a  man  of  standing.  He 
was  in  Plymouth  in  1639,  when  he  bought  his  father's  house,  out-houses 
and  garden-plot,  with  two  cows,  and  lands  on  the  north  and  south 
sides  of  the  town.  He  was  admitted  a  freeman  Mar.  1,  1641-2  and 
contributed  one-sixteenth  part  of  the  money  to  build  a  barque  of 
forty  or  fifty  tons,  costing  £200.  He  was  among  the  first  who  went 
to  Nauset,  or  Eastham,  after  the  settlement  commenced.  He  was 
constable  there  in  1646,  and  represented  the  town  in  the  Colony  Court 
in  1647,  and  again  in  1649  with  his  father-in-law  Deacon  John  Doane. 
He  returned  to  Plymouth,  where  two  of  their  children  were  born,  and 
was  a  constable  in  that  town  in  1654.  He  was  sometime  an  inhab- 
itant of  Barnstable.  Mr.  Otis  says,  he  was  admitted  an  inhabitant 
there  Oct.  3,  1662,  but  had  then  resided  in  the  town  several  years. 

In  1661,  there  was  "  a  difference"  between  Samuel  Hicks  and  his 
mother,  about  the  will  of  his  father  Robert  and  it  was  agreed  that 
Samuel  should  pay  his  mother  ten  pounds,  and  leave  "  the  winescot 
bedstead  and  the  table  in  the  hall  to  remain  in  the  house  as  now  it 
stands,"  the  bouse  to  revert  to  Samuel  at  his  mother's  decease. 

He  removed  to  Dartmouth  where  his  father  had  been  interested  in 
some  landed  estate.  In  1666  an  Indian  named  "  Daniell  "  was  ex- 
amined before  the  court  for  striking  Samuel  Hicks,  of  Acushna  or 
Dartmouth  "  so  that  he  languisheth  and  hath  been  in  danger  of 
death."  The  Indian  confessed  that  he  "  struck  or  punched  Hicks 
with  an  axe  or  the  haft  of  it,"  but  claimed  that  Hicks  first  struck 
him.  After  a  hearing  Daniell  was  fined  four  pounds  and  four  shil- 
lings for  bill  of  charges,  and  forty  shillings  for  loss  of  Hicks  time, 
and  ten  shillings  to  JohnHaward  forgoing  to  Plymouth  as  a  witness.

20  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

On  June  5,  1667,  Samuel  Hicks  was  one  of  the  selectmen  and  a 
Receiver  of  Excise  for  Dartmouth.  He  was  in  the  list  of  freemen 
there  in  1670,  and  a  deputy  to  the  Colony  Court.  No  record  appears 
of  the  deaths  of  Samuel  and  Lydia  Hicks.  They  had  at  least  seven 
children,  two  of  whom,  Dorcas  born  Feb.  14,  1652  and  Margaret 
born  Mar.  9,  1654,  were  born  in  Plymouth.  Davis  says,  there  was 
a  son  Samuel  born  in  1651  and  Austin's  Dictionary  of  Rhode  Island 
Families  gives  a  son  Thomas,  a  carpenter  of  Dartmouth,  Mass.,  and 
Portsmouth,  R.  I.,  who  married  Mary,  daughter  of  John  and  Dorothy 
Albro.  Margaret  Hicks'  will,  dated  July  8,  1655,  bequeaths  to  her 
son  Samuel  and  his  family  as  follows : 

I  give  unto  my  son  Samuell  liickes  five  pounds;  Item  I  give  unto  my 
daughter  in  law  Lydia  hickes  thirty  shillings.  Item  I  give  unto  my  son 
Samuells  children  ten  shillings  apiece ;  there  being  seven  of  them ;  all  the 
above  said  legacyes  my  will  is  shall  bee  payed  by  that  which  is  oweing  to 
mee  from  my  above  said  son  Samuel  hickes  which  debt  is  ten  pounds  Really 
and  truly  oweing  to  mee  from  my  said  son ;  the  above  said  legacyes  being 
what  I  can  doe  for  him  and  his ;  hee  haveing  alreddy  Received  a  large  por-

formerly  but  alsoe  given  to  mee  by  will  att  my  son  Ephraims  death. 

3  ABIGAIL2  DOANE  (John1)  was  born  at  Plymouth,  Jan.  13, 
1631-2  and  died  at  Norwich,  Conn.,  Jan.  23,  1734-5.  She  married, 
in  1690,  Samuel,  born  in  England  about  1620,  second  son  of  Rev. 
John  Lothrop.* 

She  went  with  her  father's  family  in  1645  from  Plymouth  to  Nauset, 
or  Eastham,  where  she  lived  about  forty-five  years.  From  entries  in 
Eastham  town  records,  it  is  inferred  that  she  was,  to  some  extent, 
engaged  in  business.  Her  name  appears  several  times  on  Eastham 
records  as  the  owner  of  horses. 

May  6,  1672,  sold  and  delivered  according  to  a  Court  Order  by 
Abigail  Doane,  to  an  Indian  called  Moses,  one  bay  horse,  ear  marked 
two  slits,  a  star  in  the  forehead,  a  little  white  streak  over  the  left 
nostril,  burn  marked  E  on  the  near  buttock. — Eastham  town  record. 

*  Rev.  John  Lothrop  was  the  minister  at  Edgerton,  Kent,  England,  but  removed  to 
London  in  1624  and  was  pastor  of  a  Congregational  church.  The  Archbishop  caused  the 
arrest  of  himself  and  forty -three  members  of  the  church  Apr.  29,  1G32,  and  most  of  them 
were  imprisoned  for  two  years  for  the  simple  offence  of  practising  the  teachings  of  the 
New  Testament.  His  first  wife  died  while  he  was  in  prison.  He,  and  some  others,  were 
released  on  condition  of  leaving  the  country,  and  came  to  New  England. 

1 1  c  arrived  with  his  family  Sept.  18, 1G34,  and  soon  after  organized  a  church  at  Scituate— 
"  so  many  of  us  as  had  been  in  the  covenant  before  "  are  his  words.  A  few  years  later 
he  removed,  with  the  principal  part  of  the  church,  to  found  the  town  and  church  at 
Barnstable.— Pope's  Pioneers  of  Massachusetts.

Samuel  Lothrop  was  married,  first,  by  his  father,  at  Barnstable 
Nov.  28,  1644,  to  Miss  Elizabeth  Scudder,  of  whose  death  there  is  no 
record.  He  was  a  house  carpenter  by  trade,  combining  with  it  ex- 
tensive farming  operations.  In  1648  he  went  to  New  London,  then 
called  Pequot,  where  he  built  the  "  Second  Church  "  and  held  posi- 
tions of  responsibility  and  honor.  In  1649  the  General  Court 
organized  a  local  court  at  Pequot  and  Samuel  Lothrop  was  one  of 
the  judges.  In  1668  he  removed  to  Norwich,  where  he  is  recorded 
as  kt  Constable  "  and  "  Townsman,"  and  where  he  died  Feb.  29, 1700, 
leaving  the  widow  Abigail  who  survived  him  many  years. 

On  the  one  hundredth  anniversary  of  her  birth,  an  audience  of  her 
neighbors  and  church  people  assembled  in  her  rooms  at  Norwich, 
where  a  sermon  was  preached  by  her  pastor,  the  Rev.  Benjamin  Lord. 
At  this  time,  it  is  claimed,  she  retained  to  a  remarkable  degree  the 
intelligence  and  vivacity  of  her  earlier  years. 

She  was  buried  in  the  old  Town  Burial  Ground  near  the  Congrega- 
tional church  in  Norwich,  a  stone  with  the  following  inscription 
marking  her  grave : 

Here  Lyes  Interred  ye  Remains  of  Mrs.  Abigail  Lothrop 
ye  Relict  of  Mr.  Samuel  Lothrop  Of  Norwich 
Born  At  Plymouth  Ano  1631  &  Lived  in  Norwich 
43  Years  And  Dyed  January  23d  AnoD  1734"5  In 
ye  104Th  Year  Of  Her  Age. 

Caulkins'  History  of  New  London  gives  the  following  notice  of  her 
death,  copied  from  the  New  England  Weekly  Journal: 

Mrs.  Abigail  Lothrop  died  at  Norwich,  Jan.  23,  1735,  in  her  104th 
year.  Her  father  John  Doane  and  his  wife  came  to  Plymouth  in 
1630,  and  there  she  was  born  the  next  year.  She  lived  single  till  she 
was  sixty  years  old  and  then  married  Mr.  John  (Samuel)  Lothrop  of 
Norwich,  who  lived  ten  years  and  then  died. 

4  JOHN2  DOANE,  Jr.  (John1)  was  born  probably  at  Plymouth 
about  1635  and  died  atEastham,  Mar.  15,  1708,  aged  about  73  years. 
He  married,  first,  Apr.  30,  1662,  Hannah,  daughter  of  Edward 
Bangs,  who  came  over  to  Plymouth  in  the  Ann  in  July,  1623.  She 
was  born  at  Plymouth,  about  1644,  and  was  living  at  Eastham  in 
1677,  then  being  named  in  her  father's  will.  Married,  second,  Jan. 
14,  1694,  Rebecca  Pettee,  whom  he  outlived. 

Mr.  Doane  went  with  his  father's  family  from  Plymouth  to  Nauset, 


22  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

or  Eastham,  in  1645.  He  was  a  man  of  prominence  in  Eastham,  and 
for  many  years  was  in  the  public  service.  He  was  a  selectman  al- 
most every  year  from  1678  to  1700.  He  often  served  as  a  juror,  and 
was  the  constable  of  Eastham  in  1661  and  1693.  In  1701  and  1702 
he  was  one  of  the  Negative  Men.  In  1664  he  was  appointed  one  of 
the  Receivers  of  Excise  for  Eastham.  In  1668  he  was  of  the  Grand 
Inquest  and  in  1669  he  was  a  Justice  of  the  Select  Court.  He  rep- 
resented his  town  in  the  Colony  Court  in  1684  and  1685,  and  in  the 
General  Court  at  Boston  in  1693,  1694  and  1702.  He  was  a  large 
landholder  and  was  quite  extensively  engaged  in  farming.  It  is  un- 
derstood that  his  homestead  was  near  that  of  his  father.  Mr.  Doane 
was  of  the  same  religious  faith  as  his  father,  and  a  member  of  the 
First  Church  of  Eastham.  He  doubtless  was  buried  in  the  old  Town 
Cove  burial  ground.

5  DANIEL2  DOANE  (John1)  was  born  probably  at  Plymouth, 
about  1636,  and  died  at  Eastham,  Dec.  20,  1712,  in  the  seventy-sixth 
year  of  his  age.  He  was  twice  married.  Nothing  is  known  of  his 
first  wife.  The  marriage  is  not  recorded  on  Eastham  records.  She 
doubtless  was  the  mother  of  all  the  children,  except  the  daughter 
Hepzibah.  His  second  wife,  whom  he  married  after  July  28,  1682, 
was  Hepzibah  Crisp,  widow  of  George  Crisp,*  and  daughter  of 
Daniel  and  Mary  Cole  of  Eastham.  She  was  many  years  his  junior, 
and  survived  him. 

Mr.  Doane  went  from  Plymouth  to  Eastham  with  his  father's 
family,  in  1645.  He  settled  in  that  part  of  Eastham  now  known  as 
East  Orleans,  near  where  Mr.  Joseph  Taylor  now  resides.  He  was 
a  prominent  man  in  the  affairs  of  the  town  and  church.  He  was  a 
selectman  each  year  from  1691  to  1696;  a  juryman  in  1677,  1686, 
1687,  1689;  a  surveyor  of  highways  in  1667,  1673,  1699,  1700, 
1704.  He  was  a  deacon  of  the  First  church  for  many  years,  proba- 
bly succeeding  his  father  Dea.  John  Doane.  He  was  an  extensive 
landholder,  the  Eastham  records  showing  many  grants  to  him,  near- 
ly all  of  which  were  within  the  limits  of  the  present  town  of  Orleans. 
One  of  his  children,  evidently  the  eldest,  was  accidentally  drowned 
in  a  well  at  Eastham,  and  an  investigating  jury  was  impanelled 
Sept.  22,  1667.  Dea.  Daniel  Doane  was  buried  in  the  old  Town 
Cove  burial  ground  where  a  small  slatestone  still  legible  marks  his 
grave,  and  bears  this  inscription  : 

Here  Lyes  ye  Body 
of  Deacon  Daniel 
Doane  DecD  DecR 
ye  20th  1712 
In  The  76  Year 
Of  His  Age. 

*  George  Crisp  was  a  resident  of  Eastham,  that  part  called  Poehey,  now  East  Orleans, 
and  was  a  constable  there  in  1650;  a  grand  juror  in  1672  and  1678.  His  first  wife,  Mary, 
d.  Feb.  20, 1676,  and  he  m.  2nd,  May  24,  1677,  Hepzibah,  dau.  of  Daniel  and  Mary  Cole 
and  had :  1.  Mary,  b.  Dec.  9,  1678;  m.  Dec.  1, 1700,  Samuel  Gold  of  Topsfield.  2.  Mercy, 
b.  Oct.  15,1681;  m.  George  Williamson.  George  Crisp  d.  July  28,  1682.  His  will,  dated 
June  8, 1682,  names  wife  Hepzibah  executrix,  and  directs  that  "  my  Brother  Israel  Cole, 
and  my  friend  and  neighbour  Goodman  daniell  done,  be  healpful  to  my  wife  as  over- 
seers."

and  died  at  Eastham  in  1703,  widow  of  John2  Snow  (Nicholas1),  and 
the  daughter  of  John  and  Ann  (Walden)  Smalley. 

Ephraim  Doane  does  not  appear  to  have  been  prominent  either  in 
town  or  church  affairs.  Only  a  little  of  his  life  can  be  gleaned  from 
the  public  records. 

On  March  3,  1662-3,  he  and  three  others  were  fined  twenty-five 
shillings  each,  for  trading  of  liquor  with  the  Indians,  and  he  and 
Thomas  Kidman  were  fined  fifty  shillings  each,  for  permitting  the 
Indians  to  have  liquor  in  their  boats,  "  it  appearing  that  one  of  the 
Indians  was  drunk  thereby."  Oct.  29,  1669,  he  was  before  the  court 
for  "  horribly  slandering  and  belying  his  neighbours"  at  Eastham 
and  was  fined  "the  sume  of  twenty  shillings  for  telling  two  lyes 
about  the  same."  June  6,  1678,  he  was  again  before  the  court  to

of  Billingsgate,  as  suspected  by  her  and  Nicholas,  to  have  been  an 
occasion  of  the  violent  death  of  the  said  Pequin,  her  husband." 

He  settled  within  the  limits  of  Eastham.  He  took  the  oath  of  fi- 
delity before  Mr.  Freeman  in  1670,  and  was  admitted  a  freeman 
June  5,  1684.  His  name  appears  in  Truro  June  17,  1690,  and  is  in 
a  list  of  the  legal  inhabitants  of  Eastham  in  1695.  He  was  a  sur- 
veyor of  highways  in  Eastham  in  1691  and  again  in  1692.  He  made 
his  will  Dec.  17,  1699,  and  desires  his  wife's  children,  by  her  former 
husband,  John  Snow,  of  whom  there  were  nine,  to  share  equally 
with  his  own  children,  after  the  decease  of  his  wife  Mary.

in  1794  and  was  living  in  1796,  when  she  sold  house  and  laud  on  the 
corner  of  School  St.,  Boston,  to  her  son-in-law  David  Stoddard 
Greenough. 

John  Doane  settled,  first,  in  Wellfleet,  then  Billingsgate,  on  a  portion 
of  his  father's  estate.  Pratt's  History  of  Eastham  says  he  was  there 
before  1700,  and  that  he  held  a  distinguished  rank  in  the  town.  An 
old  document  of  1727  mentions  him  as  "  a  principal  Inhabitant  of  this 
Precinct."  As  early  as  1696,  he  and  his  wife  Hannah  were  living  in 
Boston  in  Ward  7,  when  in  a  deed  he  is  styled  "  Distiller,"  and  where 
on  Mar.  5th  of  that  year,  his  son  Joshua  was  born.  After  the  death 
of  his  wife  in  1731  he  removed  to  Hull,  where  he  was  an  important 
man  in  town  and  church  affairs,  and  seems  to  have  lived  there  from 
about  1732  to  1742.  He  then  removed  to  Boston  where  he  owned  a 
large  estate,  and  resided  there  until  his  death. 

From  the  Suffolk  Registry  of  Deeds  we  note  the  following : 

Mar.  3,  1694,  John  Doane  of  Eastham  purchased  of  the  heirs  of 
Edward  Tyng  for  £370  land  and  dwelling-house  in  Boston.  Aug. 
17,  1717,  John  Doane  of  Eastham  bought  of  Wigglesworth  Sweetzer 
for  £260  a  brick  and  wooden  house  with  land  and  wharf  on  Butler's 
Row.  From  1727  to  1729,  he  bought  lands  and  houses  on  School  St. 
from  the  heirs  of  Samuel  Haugh,  goldsmith.  Apr.  3,  1738,  John 
Doane  of  Hull  bought  of  John  Marshall  for  £2,750  land  and  wharf 
fronting  on  Mackeral  Lane  (Kilby  St.).  Aug.  6,  1741,  John  Doane 
of  Hull,  for  £1,200,  bought  from  heirs  of  James  Gooch  lands  near 
King  St.  (State  St.). 

John  Doane  was  commissioned  a  Justice  of  Peace  for  Barnstable 
Co.  June  5,  1713,  and  was  in  commission  there  until  his  removal  to 
Hull.  In  1736,  he  was  a  Special  Justice  of  the  Court  of  Common 
Pleas  for  Barnstable  Co.  and,  on  Mar.  9, 1737-8,  he  was  commissioned 
a  Justice  of  Peace  for  Suffolk  Co. 

He  and  his  wife  Hannah  were  the  leaders  of  the  fifteen  or  twenty 
church  members  living  in  the  North  Precinct,  who  strongly  opposed 
the  ordination  and  settlement  of  Rev.  Samuel  Osborn  as  pastor  of 
the  First  Church  of  Eastham  in  1718.  In  the  church  troubles  at 
Billingsgate  in  1727,  they  were  stanch  supporters  of  their  minister, 
Rev.  Josiah  Oakes. 

The  Boston  Evening  Post,  for  Monday,  Dec.  1,  1755,  has  the  fol- 
lowing notice  of  Mr.  Doane's  death : 

"  Boston,  Nov.  27,  1755. 

Last  Saturday  died  in  the  92nd.  Year  of  his  Age  and  Yesterday  was  very 
decently  interred,  John  Doane  Esq. ;    who  had  been  many  Years  in  the 


36  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Commission  of  the  Peace  for  the  Counties  of  Barnstable  and  Suffolk.  He 
was  a  Gentleman  of  great  Capacity  and  known  Integrity,  a  tender  Husband, 
affectionate  Father,  and  faithful  Friend ;  and  notwithstanding  his  great  Age 
he  retained  his  Usefulness,  Keason  and  Understanding  to  the  last." 

Beside  the  Boston  estate,  John  Doane's  possessions  at  Scituate  in- 
ventoried £1250.  19.  8.  His  will,  written  by  his  own  hand,  five  clays 
before  his  death,  and  proved  Dec.  24,  1755,  is  as  follows: 

The  WrxL  of  John  Doane  Esq. 

In  the  Name  of  God  Amen, — I  John  Doane  of  ye  town  of  Boston  in  ye

Decease,  or  sooner,  if  my  Exec"  see  cause,  &  not  else,  and  the  Reason  why  I

given  my  Son,  their  Father,  what  I  desired  to  give  him,  in  his  Life  time. 
Item.  I  give  to  my  well  beloved  wife  Jane  Doane  the  Improvement  of  my

to  adult,  or  Lawful  age,  &  to  make  them  equal  with  Hannah  Doane,  both  in 
Cloths,  &  Furniture  for  their  Houses,  &  I  also  give  to  my  sd  wife  the  use  of

DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  39 

Mass.,  May  12,  1668,  and  died  at  Canterbury,  Conn.,  Dec.  19,  1758. 
She  married,  Jan.  20,  1685,  Elisha  Paine,  who  was  born  at  Eastham 
and  died  at  Canterbury,  Feb.  7,  1736,  the  son  of  Thomas  and  Mary 
(Snow)  Paine.  His  mother  was  the  daughter  of  Nicholas  Snow,  who 
came  over  in  the  Ann,  and  a  granddaughter  of  Stephen  Hopkins,  of 
the  Mayflower.  After  marriage  Elisha  and  Rebecca  Paine  settled 
first  at  Eastham,  but  were  in  Barnstable  in  1689.  They  returned  to 
Eastham  and  resided  there  until  about  1703,  when  they  removed  to 
that  part  of  Plainfield,  now  Canterbury,  Conn.,  where  he  purchased 
a  tract  of  five  hundred  acres  of  wild  land.  Here  he  took  an  active 
part  in  all  public  affairs.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  church 
in  that  town  in  1711. 

The  history  of  their  children,  from  Paine  Family  Records,  Vol.  2, 
is  as  follows  : 

Children  : 

i  Abigail,4  b.  at  Eastham,  Jan.  5,  1686;  m.  J osiah  Cleveland. 
They  united  with  the  first  church  in  1713.  They  afterwards 
became  Separatists.  He  died  before  1765,  leaving  money 
to  that  church. 

ii  Abraham,4  bapt.  at  Barnstable,  1691 ;  m.  at  Canterbury,  Dec. 
19,  1718,  Ruth  Adams.  They  united  with  the  Canterbury 
church  in  1739.     Removed  to  Amenia,  N.  Y.,  about  1748. 

iii  Elisha,4  b.  at  Eastham,  Dec.  29,  1693.  From  childhood  he  was 
of  an  inquiring  mind,  and  showed  a  great  fondness  for 
study.  Choosing  the  profession  of  a  lawyer  he  prepared 
himself  for  practice,  and  became  one  of  the  best  of  his  time 
in  Conn.  In  1769  he  was  King's  Attorney,  and  a  Justice 
of  Peace  for  Windham  Co.  From  his  youth  deeply  inter- 
ested in  religious  subjects,  Elisha  Paine  received  an  internal 
call  to  preach  the  gospel  in  July,  1742.  Presenting  himself 
in  Dec,  1742,  before  some  ministers  for  examination,  he 
was  recommended  to  the  committee  of  the  association  for 
a  license  to  preach,  but  the  committee  failing  to  meet,  Mr. 
Paine  at  once  began  his  labors  as  an  itinerant  preacher,  and 
threw  the  great  weight  of  his  influence  with  the  New  Lights 
or  Separatists,  and  became  the  foremost  of  the  leaders  of 
that  movement  in  Conn.  "Earnest  and  devoted  in  piety,  bold 
and  determined  in  measures,  zealous  and  impassioned  in  ad- 
dress, he  was  the  herald  who  summoned  to  the  new  standard 
those  who  had  already  revolted  from,  or  who  were  disaf- 
fected in  the  ranks  of  the  standing  order."  In  Feb.,  1743,  he 
was  arrested  for  preaching  without  a  license  and,  refusing  to 
give  bonds,  was  committed  to  the  "dirtiest  prison,"  he  says, 
"he  ever  saw  and  was  compelled  to  beg  a  broom  to  sweep  a

place  to  walk  in."  After  his  release,  May  13,  he  went  on 
several  preaching  tours,  and  the  summer  of  1744  visited  his 
relatives  at  Eastham,  and  other  towns  on  his  native  Cape 
Cod.  From  a  letter*  to  his  wife,  dated  at  Chatham  it  would 
appear  that  his  labors  there  were  attended  with  the  great- 
est success.  Returning  to  Conn,  he  was  again  arrested, 
but  his  conduct  was  such  that  his  persecutors  became 
alarmed,  and  in  a  few  days  he  was  again  released.  After 
many  years'  labor  as  an  itinerant  in  Conn.,  Mr.  Faine 
became  the  leader  of  a  church  at  Bridgehampton,  Long 
Island,  where  he  was  settled  May,  1752,  and  where  he  died 
Aug.  26,  1775,  having  preached  to  his  beloved  flock  fifteen 
clays  before  his  death.  He  married  in  Canterbury,  Nov. 
24,  1720,  Mary  Johnson  and  had  ten  children. 

iv  Mary,4  b.  at  Eastham,  Feb.  1, 1695 ;  m.  Apr.  5, 1722,  Robert  Free- 
man, a  man  of  great  piety,  and  moved  to  Pomfret,  Conn., 
where  he  died  Sept.  25,  1755.  She  m.,  2nd,  it  is  under- 
stood, Dea.  Waldo  of  Norwich,  Conn. 

v  Solomon,4  b.  at  Eastham,  May  16,  1698.  He  was  converted  in 
1721  and  united  with  the  First  Church  in  Canterbury.  In 
1741  he  became  deeply  interested  and  was  a  leader  in  the

*Dearwife  and  children: 

I  long  to  see  you,  and  would  write  oftner  but  opportunity  fails.  I  am  purposing 
every  day  to  come  home  but  dare  not  leave  the  Lord's  harvest,  lest  the  wild  beasts 
should  devour,  and  the  wild  boars  should  root  up  what  the  Lord  seems  to  be  doing  here 
with  the  greatest  power  that  ever  I  saw  here  or  I  think  anywhere.  The  Lord  is  doing 
wonders  in  this  sandy  land  but  as  Christ  triumphs  Satan  rages  The  Lord  hath  hitherto 
sustained  me  and  delivered  me  from  the  rage  of  the  adversary  O  pray  for  me  and  the 
cause  of  dear  Jesus  The  pine  woods  in  Harwich  ring  hallelujahs  and  hosannas  even 
from  babes;  I  never  heard  the  like  before ;  from  little  ones  from  six  years  old  and  up- 
wards saying  "Holy  &c"  "Hallelujahs  &c"  God  is  bringing  them  in  from  the  hedges 
Our  relations,  the  most  of  them,  stand  atji  distance  Cousin  Ebenezer  Paine  and  his 
family  seem  exceedingly  opposite  except  one  daughter  and  her  husband  I  hope  are 
made  to  know  Christ  Uncle  Doane  and  his  family  seem  to  be  created  anew  except  his 
wife  The  world  is  full  of  lies  and  falsehood  is  the  covering  wherewith  opposers  cover 
themselves  The  Devil  hath  6ome  very  faithful  servants  in  the  country  that  went  from 
this  place  that  write  the  most  awful  letters  that  were  ever  writ;  and  as  false  as  strange 
But  the. Lord  reigns  and  the  saints  shout  aloud  for  joy  The  christians  what  few  were 
alive  are  much  quickened  and  many  added  to  their  number  since  I  came  down  But  the 
most  wonderful  shower  began  on  the  28th  of  June  a  Colony  fast  I  preached  from 
Ez.  14.  3  and  Rev.  2.  21  After  service  we  sang  a  hymn  I  felt  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  come 
upon  me  I  rose  up  and  exhorted  and  persuaded  them  to  come  to  Christ;  and  immedi- 
ately there  was  a  screeching  and  groaning  all  over  the  multitude  and  hath  since  ever 
been  very  powerful  Some  whole  families,  I  hope,  have  received  Christ  and  others  con- 
tinually crying  out  against  their  own  hearts  I  hope  the  Lord  will  carry  on  his  work  in 
his  way  and  by  his  own  means  If  it  be  his  will  to  keep  me  here  longer  let  it  not  grieve 
your  heart  nor  alienate  your  affection  from  me,  for  it  doth  not  mine  from  you  and  the 
children  The  Lord  keeps  you  all  near  my  heart  And  I  hope  you  will  not  cease  to  pray 
for  me,  for  I  am  in  the  midst  of  wolves  and  dragons;  but  God  is  above  them  all  So  let 
us  rest.    Amen.

great  religions  movement  in  Windham  Co.  Upon  the  or- 
ganization of  the  Separate  church  in  Canterbury,  he  accepted 
the  call  to  become  the  pastor,  and  was  ordained  Sept.  10, 
174G.  He  was  a  "faithful  pastor"  and  was  held  in  high 
esteem  by  all  the  Separate  preachers  of  his  day.  He  was 
equally  as  determined  and  unyielding  as  his  older  brother 
Elisha,  but  not  so  able  a  preacher.  He  published  A  Short 
View  of  the  Constitution  of  the  Church  of  Christ  and  the  Dif- 
ference between  it  and  the  Church  Established  in  Conn.  His 
1st  wife  whom  he  married  May  2,  1720,  was  Sarah  Carver. 
She  d.  Aug.  9,  1731,  and  his  2nd  wife,  whom  he  m.  May  31, 
1732,  was  Priscilla  Fitch.  She  d.  May  6,  1782.  "After 
twelve  days  sickness  he  fell  asleep  in  the  Lord,  Oct.  25, 
1754,"  and  was  buried  in  Canterbury,  where  a  stone  with 
inscription  marks  his  grave.

x  John,4  b.  at  Canterbury,  July,  1707.  He  united  with  the  First 
Church  in  Canterbury,  1731.  He  became  a  Separatist  and 
was  ordained,  Aug.  3,  1745,  pastor  of  the  Separate  church 
in  that  part  of  Rehoboth  now  Seekonk,  R.  I.  Rev.  John 
Greenwood,  who  was  then  pastor  of  the  First  Church, 
strongly  opposed  the  ordination,  and  sent  a  letter  to  the 
ordination  council,  which  was  pointedly  answered  by  Mr. 
Elisha  Paine,  Aug.  10,  1748.  Rev.  John  Paine  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  council  convened  at  Harwich,  Cape  Cod,  in  1749, 
to  ordain  Joshua  Nickerson  pastor  of  the  Separate  church 
there,  and  gave  the  right  hand  of  fellowship.  He  was  a 
rigid  disciplinarian,  and  before  long  many  of  his  members 
refused  to  allow  him  to  enter  their  houses  "to  administer." 
In  consequence  a  council  was  convened  at  Rehoboth  May 
8,  1751,  which  declared,  "that  John  Paine,  pastor,  has  ful- 
filled his  pastoral  charge  over  this  church,  and  has  shut  all 
their  doors  against  his  administration  in  their  houses,  so 
that  he  is  dismissed  from  his  relation  to  them,  and  we  give 
him  the  right  hand  of  fellowship  as  a  faithful  minister  of 
Christ,  and  to  minister  wherever  God  shall  call  him."  He

ham,  Dec.  2,  1700,  Margaret  Wood  (or  Atwood).  He  settled  with-

11   DAVID3    DOANE    (John,2  John1)    was    born    probably  at 


46  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Eastham,  Mass.,  about  1674  and  died  there  Nov.  18, 1748.  Evidently 
he  was  the  youngest  of  his  father's  family.  His  birth  is  not  recorded 
on  Eastham  records,  but  he  is  named  with  the  other  children  in  his 
father's  will.  He  married  Sept.  30,  1701,  Dorothy  Horton,  and  in  his 
will  in  1738  names  his  wife  Sarah.  Dorothy  was  a  sister  of  Samuel 
Horton,  who  was  in  Eastham  "before  1700,  and  who  appears  as  a 
witness  to  David  Doane's  will. 

Mr.  Doane  succeeded  to  his  father's  homestead, which  is  still  pointed 
out  near  the  site  of  the  house  of  Dea.  John  Doane.  He  is  on  East- 
ham records  as  a  juryman  in  1708-9,  1713,  1714-15,  1719-20,  1728, 
1730  and  as  a  constable  in  1711-12. 

Beside  his  occupation  of  farming  it  is  understood  that  he  was  a 
physician.  In  his  will  he  calls  himself  yeoman,  while  his  inventory 
and  gravestone  inscription  style  him  doctor.  It  is  not  presumed 
that  he  held  a  college  diploma.  In  his  day,  common  sense  and  good 
judgment  carried  greater  merit  than  college  tities  or  conferred  honors. 
That  he  had  some  knowledge  of  medicine,  however,  and  an  extensive 
and  lucrative  practice  in  Eastham  is  evident. 

He  was  buried  in  the  old  Town  Cove  burial  ground,  near  the  fence 
by  the  public  road  and  a  small  slatestone  with  the  following  inscrip- 
tion still  marks  his  grave  :

ye  18th  1748 

In  the  74th  Year

A  division  of  David  Doane's  estate  was  ordered  Mar.  18,  1750-1 
and  Ebenezer  Higgins  was  appointed  by  the  court  to  represent,  in 
the  division,  the  sons  Joshua  and  Nathan,  "  they  being  out  of  the 
Province  and  so  cant  attend."

Mass.,  June  27, 1669  and  died  there  July  27,  1757.  He  married,  first, 
Jan.  8,  1690,  Mary  Godfrey,  born  June  2,  1672,  and  died  at  Eastham, 
Jan.  22,1725,  the  daughter  of  George  Godfrey  of  Eastham.  Married, 
second,  Feb.  29,  1727-8,  Desire  Berry.  She  was  many  years  younger 
than  her  husband.  Joseph  Doane  was  a  man  of  more  than  ordinary 
ability.  He  was  long  prominent  in  town,  church  and  judicial  affairs 
exhibiting  rare  judgment,  great  aptitude  for  public  business  and  im- 
partiality in  the  discharge  of  his  official  duties. 

He  was  a  selectman  of  Eastham  in  1700  and  was  reelected  until 
1705.  He  was  town  treasurer  in  1703  and  reelected  in  1704  and 
1705.  He  was  a  representative  to  the  General  Court  at  Boston  in 
1702, 1727  and  1728.  In  1729  he  was  chosen  successor  of  Dea.  John 
Paine  as  town  clerk  of  Eastham  which  office  he  held  till  1743.  In  1749 
he  was  commissioned  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  Barnstable  County 
and  was  in  commission  until  his  death.  In  this  position  he  was  very 
popular.  His  attainments  gave  him  a  wide  field  of  labor  and  secured 
him  a  large  amount  of  legal  business.  There  were  but  few  Justices 
in  his  time  that  surpassed  him  in  a  knowledge  of  the  duties  of  the 
office,  or  in  the  preparation  of  legal  papers.  During  his  long  term 
of  office  he  solemnized  many  marriages  in  his  own  town  as  well  as 
in  the  towns  adjoining.  In  Harwich,  where  he  was  highly  esteemed, 
he  married  sixty-six  couples  between  the  years  1710  and  1755.  As 
one  of  His  Majestys  Justices"  he  rendered  great  service  to  the  Colo- 
nial Government  in  securing  for  trial  the  survivors  of  the  crew  of  the 
noted  pirate  ship  Whiddah,  and  her  tenders,  wrecked  on  the  eastern 
coast  of  Eastham,  now  Wellfleet  in  April,  1717.  The  Whiddah  and 
her  consorts  were  wrecked  in  the  night,  and  the  following  morning 
Mr.  Doane  was  informed  that  seven  of  the  pirates,  who  had  escaped 
from  the  wrecks,  were  on  their  way  to  Rhode  Island.  Without  de- 
lay he  started  in  pursuit,  with  the  deputy  sheriff.  The  pirates  were 
soon  overtaken,  arrested,  examined  and  orders  given  for  their 
committal.  Soon  after  Mr.  Doane  received  information  that  another 
one  of  the  pirates,  who  had  escaped  from  the  wreck  the  same  night, 
was  preparing  to  leave.  He  immediately  caused  his  arrest  and  upon 
examination  ordered  his  committal  also.  When  these  men  were  on 
trial  at  Boston  in  October  following,  Mr.  Doane  was  in  attendance  as  a 
witness  at  the  command  of  Governor  Shute  and  was  absent  from  his 
home  ten  days.  On  Apr.  10,  1712,  he  was  appointed,  by  Governor 
Dudley,  Captain  of  the  Foot  Company  of  Indians,  living  within  the

several  towns  of  Harwich,  Eastkam,  Manomoit,  Billingsgate  and 
Truro,  belonging  to  the  regiment  of  militia  within  the  county  of  Barn- 
stable whereof  "  John  Otis,  Esq.,  is  Col."  How  long  he  was  captain 
of  this  company  does  not  appear,  nor  does  it  appear  that  he  held  any 
other  commission  as  a  military  officer.  In  1722  he  was  appointed  a 
Special  Justice  of  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  for  Barnstable  county. 

In  his  religious  views  Joseph  Doane  was  a  strict  Calvinist.  He 
early  became  a  member  of  the  First  Church  of  Eastham,  now  the 
Congregational  church  of  Orleans,  of  which  his  father  and  grand- 
father were  prominent  members,  and  about  1717  became  its  deacon, 
probably  succeeding  his  father  Dea.  Daniel  Doane.  This  office  he 
held  until  his  death.  He  was  one  of  the  number  who  took  an  active 
part  in  the  movement  in  1738,  to  eject  the  Rev.  Samuel  Osborn  from 
the  pastorate  of  that  church  for  what  was  considered  heretical  senti- 
ments, and  which  resulted  in  the  dismissal  of  the  learned  and  liberal 
minister  from  the  pastoral  office  which  he  had  held  for  twenty  years. 

Mr.  Doane's  first  wife  was  the  daughter  of  George  Godfrey  of 
Eastham.  In  childhood  she  became  a  member  of  the  family  of  Mr. 
Thomas  Galley,  and  continued  with  them  until  her  marriage,  receiving 
all  the  attention  that  foster  parents  could  give.  When  Mr.  Calley 
became  aged  and  infirm,  Mrs.  Doane  and  husband  gave  him  their 
kind  attention  and  as  a  token  of  his  appreciation  of  their  kindness 
and  for  their  promise  "to  keep  and  provide  for  him  during  life,"  he 
gave  them  all  his  estate  by  deed,  June  27,  1697-8. 

Mr.  Doane  resided  in  that  part  of  the  ancient  Eastham,  now  called 
Orleans,  about  one  eighth  of  a  mile  easterly  from  the  Congregational 
church,  on  the  north  side  of  the  road,  near  or  on  the  spot  where  stands 
the  house  occupied  by  the  late  Freeman  Mayo.  His  farm  consisted 
of  many  acres  on  the  same  side  of  the  road.  Some  portion  of  it  had 
been  in  the  possession  of  Thomas  Calley  and  other  portions  in  the 
possession  of  his  father  Dea.  Daniel  Doane,  who  lived  a  short  dis- 
tance easterly  on  the  same  road.  He  was  a  large  landholder  in  early 
life,  but  had  disposed  of  much  of  his  property  when  he  made  his  will 
Mar.  5,  1754.  He  owned  a  good  estate  at  his  death  which  he  divided 
among  his  legal  representatives.  Late  in  life  he  made  a  large  pur- 
chase of  land,  of  William  Gray,  in  the  south  part  of  Harwich.  Much 
of  this  land  yet  remains  in  the  possession  of  his  descendants. 

At  his  death  he  left  a  manuscript  journal,  which  was  copied  by  a 
step-son  of  his  daughter  Rebecca.  Neither  the  original  nor  the  copy 
is  now  known  to  be  extant.  The  copyist  says  in  his  diary  under  date

of   May  26,   1760,  that   "  it  had  fine  expressions,  meditations  and 
verses." 

Joseph  Doane  died  at  Orleans,  and  was  buried  there  beside  his  wife 
Mary,  in  the  old  cemetery  near  the  church,  where  a  stone  with  this 
inscription  marks  his  grave :

14  DANIEL3  DOANE  (Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  doubtless  at 
Eastham,  Mass.,  but  there  is  no  record  of  his  birth.  He  died  at 
Newtown,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  Sept.  1,  1743.  He  was  twice  married, 
but  of  his  wives  little  or  nothing  is  known.  His  first  wife  was  Me- 
hitabel.  It  is  supposed  that  she  was  the  daughter  of  William  Twin- 
ing, who  had  a  daughter  Mehetabel  and  who  also  removed  from  Cape 
Cod  to  Bucks  Co.  before  1700.  His  second  wife  was  Mary  and  it  is 
thought  that  she  was  the  daughter  of  James  Yates,  from  whom  he 
purchased  his  farm  in  Pennsylvania. 

Mr.  Doane  was  of  a  self-reliant,  independent,  inquiring  mind,  and 
was  led  to  study  the  teachings  of  the  Friends  who  were  then  creat- 
ing a  sensation  by  their  new  doctrine.     Charmed  by  their  teachings 

reelected  yearly  till  the  union  of  the  Colonies  in  1692.  Was  one  of  the  first  selectmen  of 
Eastham,  and  many  years  a  deacon  of  the  church.  Was  captain  of  the  militia  and  in 
1685  was  appointed  Major.  Edmund3  Freeman,  b.  June,  1657;  m.  Sarah  Mayo,  b.  Dec.  19,

1680;  m.  Israel  Doane.

he  united  with  the  Meeting  at  Sandwich,  about  forty  miles  from  his 
father's  home,  the  oldest  Meeting  in  America.  The  precise  date  of 
his  joining  the  Friends  is  not  known,  but  in  1696  he  applied  for  and 
received  from  the  Sandwich  Meeting  the  following  certificate  of  re- 
moval for  himself  and  wife  : 

"  At  a  meeting  of  Friends  at  Sandwich  in  New  England  ye  17th  of  3rd  mo. 
1696.  We  here  are  to  signify  to  all  whom  it  may  concern  that  our  friend 
Daniel  Doaue  and  his  wife  Mehetabel,  that  as  far  as  we  know  their  lives 
and  conversations  hath  been  as  becometh  ye  truth,  and  as  for  his  testimo- 
nial that  he  hath  borne  amongst  us  for  ye  blessed  truth,  we  have  great  unity 
with  it  as  witness  our  hands.  Wm.  Allen,  Israel  Gaunt,  Matthew  Jones, 
John  Ewing,  John  Jennens,  James  Stewart  and  Abiah  Jenkins." 

After  an  overland  journey  of  nearly  seven  hundred  miles  Mr.  Doane 
arrived  in  the  Friends'  colony  in  Pennsylvania  with  his  wife  and  four 
small  children,  the  youngest  about  two  years  old.  In  course  of  time, 
date  unknown,  he  presented  his  credentials  at  the  Meeting  in  Middle- 
town,  Bucks  Co.,  and  was  duly  accepted  in  membership. 

He  settled  in,  or  adjacent  to  the  village  of  Newtown  where  he  fol- 
lowed carpentering  and  farming,  and  prospered  to  an  extent  that 
gave  him  a  competence  in  his  declining  years.  On  Apr.  4,  1702,  he 
purchased  of  James  Yates  for  seventy  pounds  sterling  seventy-eight 
acres  of  land  situated  south  of  the  present  Newtown  borough,  and 
east  of  the  Newtown  creek.  On  Jan.  2,  1713,  he  bought  twenty-two 
acres  adjoining  the  former  purchase. 

Although  Daniel  began  well  in  Bucks  Co.  and  was  at  first,  it  is 
thought,  a  religious  teacher  among  Friends,  only  a  few  years  after 
his  arrival  in  Pennsylvania  his  investigating  spirit  led  him  to  study 
the  stars  and  the  influence  of  the  planets  upon  one  another.  But 
reports  "that  Daniel  Doane  should  meddle  in  predicting  astrologie" 
brought  him  into  conflict  with  his  Meeting,  which  lasted  almost  con- 
tinually until  he  was  disowned  in  1711.  He  had  a  way  of  assuming 
the  defensive  which  involved  the  frequent  sending  of  committees  to 
parley  with  him  ;  but  Daniel,  strong  in  his  sense  of  the  right  of  private 
judgment  and  of  free  toleration  as  to  opinions,  treated  all  charges 
and  committees  with  "unseemly  expressions"  and  "contemptuous 
flounts."  From  time  to  time,  however,  he  would  send  in  written  apol- 
ogies and  other  papers,  one  of  which  was  as  follows  : 

"  In  as  much  as  many  by  their  consulting  the  figures  of  conceptions,  and 
with  revolutions  and  perfections,  presume  to  tell  what  is  contingent  to  bear 
upon  earth,  either  weal  or  woe,  while  they  themselves  are  ye  bitter  source,

of  many  concerning  me  because  I  have  done  some  things  of  that  nature  as 
to  prediction,  and  some  have  been  inquisitusto  see  ye  aphorisms  and  schemes 
by  which  I  did  work  them  and  though  I  did  never  show  it  unto  any,  yet  I  do  say 
ingeniously  and  without  mental  reservation,  that  I  never  was  inclined, 
much  less  to  study,  any  magick  art  or  southing  divination  or  negromantic 
trick." 

At  length  tired  of  Daniel  and  his  doings,  the  Middletown  Meeting, 
after  many  expressions  of  sorrow  "that  he  is  so  wayward"  and 
prayers  "  that  he  may  be  brought  back  to  ye  truth"  disowns  "the 
said  Daniel  Doane  to  be  one  of  us,"  and  "we  being  clear  of  him,  his 
wickedness  lies  upon  his  own  head." 

He  was  bequeathed  "one  pound  in  money"  in  his  father's  will 
dated  Sept.  18,  1712.  This  small  allowance  may  have  been  on  ac- 
count of  his  having  joined  the  Friends,  but  it  is  more  probable  that 
the  son  received  his  share  of  the  father's  property  before  the  removal 
to  Pennsylvania. 

Daniel  Doane  was  the  first  of  the  Doane  family  to  migrate  from 
Cape  Cod.  He  was  the  first  and  only  one  of  the  early  generations  to 
forsake  the  church  of  his  fathers.  He  was  the  founder  of  the  largest 
and  in  some  respects  the  most  important  branch  of  the  family. 

His  death  is  thus  recorded  on  the  records  of  the  Middletown 
Meeting :  "Daniel  Doan  Senior  deceased  ye  first  day  of  ye  ninth 
(or  eighth)  mo.  Anno.  1743  and  on  ye  third  day  of  ye  week." 

His  will,  dated  Oct.  4, 1731,  was  probated  Dec.  31, 1743.  The  fol- 
lowing is  an  extract : 

To  my  beloved  children,  Daniel  Doan,  Eliezer  Doan,  Elijah  Doan,  Joseph

15   NATHANIEL3  DOANE  (Daniel,2  John1)  was  born and 

died  at  Harwich,  Mass.,  in    1758.     He  married    Mary  .     Mr. 

Doane  resided  on  his  father's  place  in  Eastham,  for  some  years,  but 
about  1744  removed  to  Harwich,  and  settled  on  the  place  formerly 
occupied  by  William  Gray.  He  was  constable  and  surveyor  at  East- 
ham,  and  a  man  of  some  prominence  in  both  towns.  He  was  one  of 
the  founders  of  the  church  in  the  South  Parish  in  1747,  and  its  first 
deacon.  His  wife  Mary  survived  him  several  years.  She  left  a  will 
which  was  never  presented  for  probate.  The  Eastham  records  do 
not  give  a  list  of  his  children,  but  we  have  their  names  from  the  will 
of  the  son  Elijah.

16   HEZEKIAH3  DOANE  (Ephraim,2  John1)  was  born  at  East- 
ham, Mass.,  in  Aug.,  1672,  and  died  in  that  part  of  Eastham,  now 

Wellfleet  early  in  1752.    He  married,  first,  Hannah, of  whom  we 

have  no  further  information.     Married   second,  about   1717,  Mary 
(Smith)  Freeman,  widow  of  Thomas  Freeman  of  Harwich.    She  died 
after  1742.    Married  third,  in  1744,  Mrs^SarahKnowles  of  Eastham. 
Hezekiah  Doane  appears  as  a  surveyor  of  highways  in  Eastham  in 
1691  and  1692.     He   early  resided  in  what  is  now  Provincetown, 
where  he  was  engaged  in  the  whale  fishery.     He  attended  church  at 
Truro  where  some  of  his  children  were  baptized.     On  May  15,  1705, 
he  and  Samuel  Treat,  Jr.,  were  admitted  inhabitants  of  Pamet,  now 
Truro,  and  on  Nov.  1,  1711,  when  a  church  was  organized  there  with 
Rev.  John  Avery  as  pastor,  Hezekiah  Doane  was  chosen  deacon  and 
ruling  elder.     He  was  appointed  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  in  1710  and 
held  the  office  many  years,  his  name  appearing  as  a  Justice  on  old 
documents  as  late  as  1736,  at  which  time  he  was  residing  in  Province- 
town.     Dr.  Breed  attended  him  in  his  last    sickness.     His   widow 
Sarah  was  appointed  administratrix  June  23,  1752,  but  died  before  the 
estate  was  settled  and  Benjamin  Higgins  was  appointed  to  her  place. 
He  had  a  large  family  but  their  births  are  not  recorded  on  public 
records.     The  first  four  and  last   three  of    the    following  list,  are 
known  to  have  been  his  children  while  the  others  are  credited  to  him 
on  good  evidence.

62  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

18  EBENEZER3  DOANE  (Ephraim,2  John1)  was  born  at  East- 
ham,  Mass.,  April,  1676.      He  married  Lydia ,  but  we  have  no 

record  of  the  marriage.  He  was  engaged  in  the  fisheries  at  Province- 
town,  Mass.,  and  resided  in  Truro,  where  his  children  were  baptized 
by  Rev.  John  Avery.  He  was  a  selectman  in  Truro  in  1711  and  the 
same  year  appears  there  as  the  owner  of  cattle.  June  14,  1714, 
Ebenezer  Doane  was  appointed  by  the  General  Court "  to  be  the  first 
collector  and  receiver  of  a  rate  or  duty  of  fourpense  per  week  weekly 
from  every  sojourner  on  the  province  lands  at  Cape  Cod,"  said  rate 
to  be  "  towards  the  support  of  a  learned  orthodox  minister  of  good 
conversation,  to  dispence  the  word  of  God  among  them,  at  sixty 
pounds  per  year  maintenance."  In  1717  a  grant  of  one  hundred  and 
fifty  pounds  was  made  towards  building  a  Meetinghouse  at  Province- 
town,  the  money  to  be  expended  under  the  direction  of  Ebenezer 
Doane  and  two  others.

FOURTH   GENERATION. 


19  JOHN4  DOANE  (John,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Eastham, 
Mass.  He  died  about  1723.  He  married  in  Boston,  June  23,  1714, 
by  Dr.  Cotton  Mather,  Abiah  Callender,  daughter  of  Rev.  Ellis  Cal- 
lender.*  She  was  born  in  Boston,  June  22,  1690,  and  is  named,  with 
her  sisters,  in  her  father's  will  Dec.  10,  1725.  She  united  with  the 
First  Baptist  church  of  Boston  Sept.  1,  1723,  during  her  brother's 
ministry,  from  which  she  was  expelled  in  1743  "for  contempt  of  the 
church."  This  probably  means  that  she  refused  to  answer  their  sum- 
mons to  appear  before  the  church  to  receive  discipline. 

Mr.  Doane  was  a  mariner  and  resided  in  Boston.  His  widow, 
Abiah,  was  "admitted  administrator  on  estate  of  John  Doane,  Jr., 
late  of  Boston,  mariner,  deceased,"  in  1723  ;  but  the  only  document  in 
the  settlement  of  the  estate,  that  has  been  preserved,  is  the  Bond  of 
Administration,  dated  Aug.  12,  1723.  On  Apr.  25,  1735,  the  widow 
sold  for  £700  her  house  and  lands  in  the  northerly  end  of  Boston, 
bounded  southerly  by  the  Cove  or  Dock. 

Children,  from  Boston  records  : 

i  Mehetabel,5  b.  Apr.  4,  1715;  m.  Apr.  13,  1736,  by  her  uncle, 
Rev.  Elisha  Callender,  to  John  Cowley.  In  1741,  John  Cow- 
ley bought  a  dwelling-house  in  the  westerly  part  of  Boston 
for  £1000,  also  one  "  Still  House  &  Horse  Mill  &  Land  "  for 
£212-2.     On  Aug.  23,  1759,  he  sold  a  dwelling-house  and 

*  In  1708,  the  First  Baptist  church  of  Boston  called  to  its  pastorate  Mr.  Ellis  Callender, 
a  discreet,  devout,  devoted  man  who  had  been  a  lay  preacher  for  them  since  1699.  He 
was  the  fifth  pastor  of  the  church,  was  beloved  by  all  who  knew  him,  and  died  abt.  1726.

20  JOHN4  DOANE  (John,3  John,«  John1)  was  born  at  East- 
ham,  Mass.,  Mar.  17,  1733-4  and  died  about  1801.  He  married,  first 
(published,  Boston,  Mar.  27,  1754),  Lucy  Davenport,  who  was  born 
in  Boston,  Mass.,  Nov.  17,  1733  and  died  at  Cohasset,  Mass.,  Jan., 
1788,  daughter  of  James  Davenport  of  Boston.  Married,  second,  be- 
fore June  14,  1790,  Rebecca .  Mr   Doane  was  a  goldsmith  and 

lived  in  Boston  and  in  Cohasset.  At  the  time  of  the  Great  Boston 
Fire  of  Mar.  20,  1760,  he  was  located  on  Mackerel  Lnne  (Kilby  St.) 
and  lost  personal  property  to  the  amount  of  £32.5.4  while  the  heirs 
of  John  Doane,  Esq.,  his  father,  whose  property  lay  largely  in  that 
vicinity  sustained  a  loss  of  £1100. 

Mr.  Doane  seems  to  have  been  unfortunate  in  business.  On  July 
21,*  1801,  his  son,  Capt.  John  Doane  of  Scituate,  was  appointed 
administrator  on  estate  of  his  father  John  Doane,  watchmaker,  of 
Boston.  The  estate  consisted  of  one  undivided  twelfth  part  of  a 
house  on  School  St.  which  was  sold  by  order  of  the  court  for  $630, 
to  pay  claims  of  creditors,  one  of  whom  was  David  Stoddard  Gree- 
nough.* 

A  small  balance  of  about  $250  was  by  order  of  the  court  July  26, 
1802,  divided  to  Lucy  Damon,  wife  of  Josiah,  Fanny  Stevens  widow  of 
Benjamin,  John  Doane,  Nancy  Hayden  wife  of  Daniel,  Jane  Bourne 
deed.,  late  wife  of  Thomas;  children  of  said  deceased  or  their  legal 
representatives.

Int.  on  the  same  from  the  time  it  became  due,  say  1760  to  8  Sept.  1800.

he  was  ordained  Sept.  2,  1747,  and  where  he  preached  until  the  last 
Sabbath  of  his  life.  A  warm  friend  to  the  interests  of  his  country, 
he  zealously  advocated  its  civil  and  religious  freedom.  He  served 
one  campaign  as  chaplain  to  a  Colonial  regiment  in  Nova  Scotia,  and 
for  his  service  was  granted  a  tract  of  land  in  that  Province  near  what 
is  now  the  town  of  Liverpool.  Mr.  Brown  is  described  as  a  man  of 
more  than  ordinary  talent,  of  a  stately  person  with  a  voice  loud 
and  smooth.  He  thought  for  himself,  uttered  his  opinions  with  fear-

27  ELEAZER4  DOANE  (David,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  prob- 
ably at  Eastham,  Mass.  His  birth  is  not  recorded  on  Eastham  rec- 
ords, but  he  is  named  in  his  father's  will.  He  died  at  Carlton 
Village,  Shelburne  Co.,  Nova  Scotia,  before  Sept.  24,  1787.  He 
married  at  Eastham,  Jan.  27,  1732,  Hannah4  Mayo,  daughter  of  Na- 
thaniel3 and  Mary  (Brown)  Mayo  (John,2  Rev.  John1). 

Mr.  Doane  removed  from  Cape  Cod  to  Mansfield,  Conn.,  probably 
sometime  between  1735  and  1743.  His  wife  Hannah  united  by  letter 
with  the  First  Congregational  church  of  Mansfield,  Mar.  2,  1746.  In 
1758,  Eleazer  Doane  of  Mansfield  was  appointed  "  Armourer  in  the 


70  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

1st  Regt.  raised  in  the  Connecticut  Colony  for  this  campaign  at  an 
allowance  of  £6  per  month." 

In  1760,  he  appears  as  one  of  the  grantees  at  Falmouth  on  the 
Avon  river,  near  Windsor,  Nova  Scotia.  On  June  23,  1760,  at  a 
meeting  of  the  proprietors  there,  he  was  chosen  one  of  a  committee 
to  value  land  on  west  side  of  the  Pisequid  River,  and  on  July  10th  of 
the  same  year  he  was  chosen  one  of  a  committee  to  survey  lands.  No 
further  trace  of  him  is  found  on  Falmouth  records. 

In  3  785,  Eleazer  Doane  with  sons  Asa  and  Nathan  and  thirteen 
others,  purchased  four  thousand  seven  hundred  acres  of  Crown  lands 
near  the  old  Loyalist  town  of  Shelburne,  N.  S.,  "  said  land  lying  and 
being  on  the  western  side  of  Port  Roseway,  between  that  port  and 
Cape  Negro."  Here  he  lived  in  what  is  now  Carlton  Village.  "  He 
was  buried  there  in  an  old  field  with  a  rough  stone  to  mark  his  grave." 
On  Sept.  24,  1787,  his  widow  Hannah  and  son  Asa  deeded  to 
Gideon  White  of  Shelburne  forty-five  acres  of  their  farm,  situated  on 
Shelburne  Harbor  in  what  was  then  called  the  "  Settlement,"  and 
known  as  "  Number  Two."

28  DAVID4  DOANE  (David,3  John,2  John*)  was  born,  prob- 
ably, at  Eastham,  Mass.,  though  his  birth  is  not  recorded  on  the  town 
records.  He  is  named  with  the  other  children  in  his  father's  will, 
March,  1738.  His  wife's  name  appears  on  the  records  of  Hardwick, 
Mass.,  as  Lydia.     Nothing  more  is  known  of  her. 

On  Mar.  6,  1753,  Mr.  Doane  bought  for  £133.6.8  one-half  of  Lot 
30,  in  the  westerly  part  of  Hardwick.  He  removed  from  Cape  Cod, 
and,  it  is  understood,  was  for  a  few  years  a  merchant  in  Boston.

His  store  was  burned,  after  which  he  settled  on  his  place  in  Hard- 
wick.  On  June  20,  1761,  he  purchased  one-half  acre,  with  orchard 
and  fence  near  the  meeting-house  in  Hardwick. 

He  was  a  sergeant  in  Capt.  Samuel  Robinson's  Co.  from  Hardwick 
in  the  Crown  Point  expedition,  between  Mar.  and  Dec,  1755.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  Separate  church  of  Hardwick,  his  name  being 
signed  to  the  covenant.  This  church  was  organized  about  1750,  but 
so  many  of  its  members  removed  in  1761  to  Bennington,  Vt.,  that 
the  church  as  an  organized  body,  together  with  its  covenant  and  rec- 
ords, was  transferred  to  that  town,  where  it  formed  a  union  with 
small  representations  of  two  or  three  similar  churches.  Mr.  Doane 
was  one  of  those  who  removed  to  Bennington  and  was  one  of  the 
fifty-seven  members  of  the  Bennington  Separate  church,  on  its  or- 
ganization, Dec.  3,  1762.  His  name  is  on  the  list  of  those  who  signed 
the  covenant  there  on  that  day. 

Oct.  22,  1761,  he  sold  a  tract  of  one  hundred  acres  in  the  northerly 
part  of  Hardwick,  and  on  Nov.  16,  1762,  his  one-half  acre  there,  near 
the  meeting-house,  was  sold  by  sheriff  sale  to  satisfy  the  claims  of 
two  creditors,  John  and  Thomas  Stevenson,  merchants  of  Boston. 
In  these  transactions  he  is  styled  "  Trader." 

Mr.  Doane  probably  removed  from  Bennington.  His  name  does 
not  appear  among  the  names  of  those  who,  in  1784,  agreed  to  be  taxed 
to  pay  the  minister. 

Where  he  spent  his  last  days  we  have  not  clearly  ascertained,  but 
it  is  claimed  by  some  of  his  descendants  that  he  died  at  his  son 
David's  in  Granville,  N.  Y.  No  complete  list  of  his  children  has 
been  found. 

The  first  four  of  the  following  list  are  from  the  Hardwick  town  rec- 
ords, and  the  others  are  credited  to  him  on  good  evidence.

was  married  by  his  father,  Joseph  Doane,  Esq.  (12),  Sept.  23,  1725, 
to  Deborah4  Paddock  of  Chatham,  Mass.,  born  about  1705,  the 
daughter  of  Robert3  and  Martha  (Hall)  Paddock,  granddaughter  of 
Zachariah-  and  Deborah  (Sears)  Paddock,  and  great-granddaughter 
of  Robert1  Paddock  and  wife  Mary.  Joseph  Doane  was  a  mariner 
and  lived  in  Eastham.  He  was  in  the  expedition  against  Louisbourg 
in  1745,  but  returned  in  broken  health  and  died  as  above  noted. 
After  his  death,  his  widow  and  children  removed  to  Middletown, 
Conn.,  where  he  had  bought  land  as  eai'ly  as  Nov.  26,  1742,  "  on  the 
east  side  of  the  Connecticut  river."  The  widow,  Deborah  Doane, 
bought  land  there  Jan.  24,  1747,  and  again  in  March  following,  ad- 
joining, as  the  deal  says,  "  where  she  now  lives."  In  the  Easthamp- 
tou,  Conn.,  Society  records  her  name  appears  as  receiving  money  for 
the  use  of  her  house  for  Divine  service  on  the  Lord's  day.  She  died 
of  small-pox  Aug.  27,  1752,  and  lies  buried  at  Easthampton  on  the 
farm,  owned  in  1874  by  Mr.  C.  A.  Strong,  at  which  date  the  grave 
was  marked  by  a  stone  with  inscription.  Her  estate,  valued  at 
£525,  was  settled  by  her  eldest  son  Joseph,  who  had  letter  granted 
Oct.  25,  1752.

35  EDMUND4  DOANE  (Israel,3  Daniel,9  John1)  was  born  at 
Eastham,  Mass.,  Apr.  20,  1718  and  died  at  Barrington,  Nova 
Scotia,  Nov.  20,  1806.  He  was  married  at  Eastham,  Nov.  10,  1749, 
by  his  uncle,  Joseph  Doane,  Esq.  (12),  to  Elizabeth  Paine,  widow  of 
William  Paine  and  of  William  Myrick,  and  daughter  of  Rev.  Samuel 
and  Jedidah  (Smith)  Osborn.  She  was  born,  probably,  at  Sand- 
wich, Mass.,  where  she  was  baptized  at  the  First  Congregational 
church  in  1715  (see  Osborn  Family)  and  died  at  Barrington,  May 
24,  1798. 

In  the  autumn  of  1761,  Edmund  Doane  with  his  wife  and  seven 
children  sailed  from  Orleans,  Mass.,  for  the  Cape  Sable  District. 
They  embarked  at  what  was  then  known  as  "Nathaniel  Mayo's  Land- 
ing," which  was  a  landing,  or  cove,  a  little  south  of  the  present  Con- 
gregational church  at  East  Orleans.  Being  driven  off  their  course  by 
unfavorable  winds  they  arrived  at  Liverpool,  where  they  spent  the 
winter.  The  following  spring  they  returned  to  the  Cape  Sable  Dis- 
trict, and  were  among  the  earliest  settlers  of  the  township  of  Bar- 
rington. 

The  first  people  of  English  descent  to  fix  their  abodes  at  the  head 
of  coves  and  harbors,  around  the  shores  of  southwestern  Nova  Scotia, 
were  fishermen  mostly  from  Cape  Cod  and  Nantucket,  in  Massachu- 
setts. They  were  not  refugees  for  loyalty's  sake,  but  simply  "  hard 
liners  "  and  net  men,  who  had  found  out  by  their  fearless  cruises  in 
"  pink  stern  "  craft,  that  fish  abounded  in  those  waters.  The  first 
steps  towards  an  English  settlement  there  were  taken  immediately 
after  the  removal  of  the  French  in  1756.  The  Proclamation  of  the 
Nova  Scotia  Colonial  Governor,  inviting  settlers  from  New  England 
and  elsewhere  to  occupy  the  vacated  lands,  followed  immediately, 
and  as  early  as  1757  Governor  Lawrence  writes  of  having  received 
"  application  from  a  number  of  Substantial  persons  in  New  Eng- 
land, for  lands  to  settle  at  or  near  Cape  Sable."  A  first  company, 
for  some  reason  or  other,  failed  to  make  a  settlement,  but  in  1761— 
1762  a  large  number,  representing  the  best  families  of  Cape  Cod  and 


70  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Nantucket,  removed  to  the  Cape  Sable  District  and  formed  a  settle- 
ment at  what  is  now  the  town  of  Barrington.  They  were,  for  the 
most  part,  a  lot  of  intelligent  and,  so  far  as  the  times  allowed,  edu- 
cated men.  The  handwriting  of  Benjamin  Folger,  John  Coffin,  John 
Porter,  Archelaus  Smith  and  others,  as  the  public  records  show,  proves 
them  to  have  been  men  of  more  than  ordinary  schooling,  and  anything 
but  illiterate.  These  settlers  were  cut  off  from  regular  intercourse  with 
their  kinsmen  over  the  Bay,  and  often  with  one  another  for  weeks  in 
the  winter  time.  They  had  force  of  character,  however,  to  cope  with 
difficulties  and  to  improve  their  hard  conditions. 

Edmund  Doane  was  of  that  number  of  "Substantial  persons  "  from 
Cape  Cod,  and  doubtless  was  the  first  settler  of  the  Doane  name  in 
Nova  Scotia.  Before  his  removal  to  Nova  Scotia  he  lived  in  East- 
ham,  that  part  set  off  in  1797  as  Orleans.  On  Eastham  records  he 
is  recorded  as  a  juryman  in  1750  and  1760.  There  are  still  in  exist- 
ence one  or  two  of  Edmund  Doane' s  old  account  books,  giving  evi- 
dence that,  during  his  first  years  in  Barringtou,  he  kept  a  store,  the 
transactions  ranging  from  1762  to  1767 — a  general  store,  such  as 
would  be  required  by  the  circumstances  of  the  beginning  of  a  new 
settlement.  The  chief  articles  of  trade  were  rum,  flour  by  the  pound, 
salt  by  the  hogshead,  molasses,  sugar,  medicine,  dry  goods,  hard- 
ware, etc. 

It  is  understood  that  he  received  his  supplies  from  his  brother-in- 
law,  John  Homer,  a  merchant  of  Boston,  shipping  him  in  return  the 
alewives,  herring  and  other  fish  found  in  Nova  Scotia  waters. 

Tiring  of  the  hard  conditions  of  his  life  in  the  new  settlement,  and 
perhaps  meeting  with  business  reverses,  Edmund  Doane,  on  Oct.  17, 
1776,  sold  his  property  at  Barrington  to  his  brother-in-law,  John 
Homer,  for  £132. 6. 5|  intending  to  return  with  his  family  to  New 
England  ;  but,  on  petition  of  a  large  number  of  the  townspeople,  a 
grant  was  made  of  town  land,  at  Johnson's  Point,  to  his  wife  Eliza- 
beth, in  consideration  of  her  valuable  medical  services. 

On  this  grant  they  settled  and  spent  their  remaining  days.  In  tlie 
petition  she  is  described  as  being  "destitute  of  accomodation  of  land 
to  set  a  house  upon." 

Mrs.  Elizabeth  Doane  was  a  woman  of  considerable  education,  of 
more  than  ordinary  personal  attractions  and  natural  ability.  Hav- 
ing a  good  knowledge  of  medicine,  and  being  skilled  in  the  use  of 
roots  and  herbs,  she  was  the  only  nurse  and  doctor  to  all  the  sick 
of   all   the  township.      Her  services  were  much   sought   after  and 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  77 

appreciated.  When  advanced  in  years  or  when  making  long  trips,  she 
was  carried  in  a  basket  suspended  from  a  pole  across  the  shoulders 
of  two  men.  She  returned  several  times  to  New  England  to  visit 
her  relatives  and  friends.  In  1763  she  was  one  of  three  passengers 
who  came  up  from  Barrington  on  the  sloop  Sherbum,  Capt.  Jonathan 
Clarke,  arriving  in  Boston,  July  28.  Again,  in  Sept.,  1767,  she 
came  over  to  Boston  on  the  sloop  Dove,  Capt.  Joseph  Chapman. 

The  old  pestle,  with  which  she  pounded  her  roots  and  herbs,  is 
still  in  use  and  in  possession  of  her  great-granddaughter,  as  well  as 
Edmund's  old  Family  Bible,  on  the  fly  leaf  of  which  is  written  : 
"Edmund  Doane,  his  book,  bought  in  New  England  whilst  he  lived 
there."   They  were  buried  in  the  old  burial  ground  at  Barrington  Head.

Wrightstown  Meeting,  his  name  often  appearing  on  the  business 
committees.  Being  prosperous  in  business,  he  became  the  owner  of 
several  tracts  of  land,  one  of  which  was  four  acres  with  a  tavern  in 
Plumstead,  and  two  hundred  and  fourteen  acres  on  the  Tohickon 
Creek,  purchased  of  the  Proprietaries  John,  Richard  and  Thomas 
Penn.  His  will,  dated  Sept.  17,  1757,  was  probated  Oct.  24,  1757. 
To  his  son  John's  children  he  gave  the  farm  on  the  Tohickon  Creek, 
on  condition  that  they  support  and  care  for  their  father  during  his 
natural  life.  To  his  son  David  £100.  To  daughter  Rebecca,  £120, 
and  to  Benjamin  the  plantation  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres,  which 
he  bought  of  the  widow  Hillborn.  The  son  Eleazer  is  named  as

family  when  his  parents  removed  to  Pennsylvania,  in  1696.  The 
minutes  of  the  Buckingham  Monthly  Meeting  show  that  on  the  4th 
of  11  mo.  1725,  his  acknowledgement  of  error  in  marrying  out  of 
unity  with  Friends  was  accepted.     He  continued  in  membership  with

39  JOSEPH4  DOANE  (Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  in 
Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  1697,  2,  23  and  died,  probably  at  Cane  Creek,  N.  C. 
He  married,  in  Friends  Meeting,  Middletown,  Pa.,  1726,  10,  14,  Mary 
Carter,  who  died  between  1740  and  1744,  the  daughter  of  John  and 
Grace  Carter,  and  settled  in  Wrightstown,  and  in  membership  witli 
the  Meeting  of  that  village.  In  his  youth  Joseph  Doane  acquired 
great  strength  and  power  of  endurance,  and  a  knowledge  of  the 
country  about  Newtown.  These  qualifications  attracted  the  notice 
of  the  Proprietaries  Richard  and  Thomas  Penn,  who,  while  conclu- 
ding upon  the  completion  of  Gov.  Wm.  Penn's  treaty  with  the  In- 
dians for  lands  included  in  a  three  days'  walk,  employed  several  per- 
sons to  perform  a  trial  walk  under  the  supervision  of  the  Sheriff  of 
Bucks  Co.  In  April,  1735,  James  Steele  wrote  to  the  Sheriff  that 
"on  the  return  of  Joseph  Doan"  he  with  two  others  "who  can  travel 
well"  should  be  immediately  sent  on  foot  and  two  others  on  horse- 
back to  carry  provisions,  etc.  They  started  on  this  preliminary 
walk  Apr.  22,  1735,  and  were  employed  nine  days.  It  appears  that 
Joseph  Doan  did  not  hold  out  one  of  the  best,  as  he  was  not  em- 
ployed in  the  final  walk  Sept.  19  or  20,  1737.  Mr.  Doane  learned  the 
carpenter's  trade  probably  in  his  father's  shop. 

After  the  death  of  his  wife  he  took  a  certificate  of  removal  for 
himself  and  children  from  Wrightstown  to  the  Buckingham  Meeting, 
which  bears  date  1744,  11,  7.  The  family  circle  being  broken,  his 
children  in  the  homes  and  under  the  care  of  his  relatives,  Mr.  Doan 
in  1747,  2  mo.  requested  certificate  of  membership  to  visit  his  father's 
people  on  Cape  Cod.  A  committee  was  appointed  to  make  the  usual 
inquiries,  the  report  was  favorable  and  the  certificate  was  granted. 
In  the  following  May,  the  certificate  was  returned  to  the  Buckingham 
Meeting  endorsed  by  the  Meeting  at  Sandwich,  Mass.,  testifying  to 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  81 

his  good  deportment,  kindliness  of  feeling,  etc.  while  there.  At  the 
Meeting,  1750,  10  mo.,  Joseph  Doan, "unmarried,"  requests  certificate 
"  to  Friends  wherever  his  lot  may  be  cast,"  and  the  next  account  of 
him  is  on  the  organization  of  the  Meeting  at  Caue  Creek,  North  Caro- 
lina 1751,  10,  7,  when  his  credentials  from  Buckingham  were  read 
and  accepted.  After  three  years  he  revisited  his  children  and  other  rela- 
tives in  Pennsylvania,  and  brought  certificate  from  Cane  Creek  which 
was  accepted  at  Buckingham  1754,  8,  5.  On  2nd  of  mo.  following, 
he  applied  for  return  of  certificate  which  was  granted  with  the  usual 
endorsement.  We  know  nothing  further  of  Joseph  Doan,  but  with- 
out doubt  his  bones  lie  in  the  Friends'  burial-ground  in  or  near  Cane 
Creek,  North  Carolina.

40  ISRAEL4  DOANE  (Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  near 
Newtown,  Pa.,  1699,  3,  20  and  died  at  Plumstead,  Pa.,  about  1797. 
He  married  out  of  unity  with  Friends  about  1724,  Esther,  whose 
family  name  probably  was  Dillon.  For  this  offence  he  was  made  a 
subject  of  "  dealing  "  and  was  disowned  by  the  Middletown  Monthly 
Meeting,  1725, 10,  2  after  the  usual  committee  of  enquiry  had  reported 
that  ' '  the  distance  into  the  country  where  he  lived  was  so  great 
it  was  difficult  to  see  him."  While  we  have  no  evidence  that  he  was 
restored  to  membership  with  them,  there  is  proof  that  he  ever  main- 
tained his  fealty  to  Friends  and  attended  their  meetings  for  worship 
at  Plumstead,  and  that  his  children  were  recognized  and  treated  as 
members.  He  was  a  carpenter.  Immediately  after  marriage,  he 
settled  in  a  remote  part  of  Plumstead  on  lands  of  the  Indians,  the 
first  or  second  white  settler  in  that  township.  In  1782,  he  was  taxed 
in  Plumstead  for  122  acres,  2  horses,  3  cows  and  4  sheep.  After 
the  death  of  his  wife,  he  sold  his  real  estate  and  converted  his 
possessions  into  money.  His  will  dated  Dec.  25,  1787,  and  probated 
in  1797,  indicates  approximately  the  time  of  his  death.  In  it  he 
names  his  eldest  son  Joseph ;  youngest  son  Mahlon ;  three  grand-

42  EPHRAIM4  DOANE  (Hezekiah,3  Ephraim,2  John1)  was  born 
at  Provincetown,  Mass.,  Apr.  1,  1696.  He  was  married  at  Truro, 
Mass.,  Mar.  5,  1717,  by  Rev.  John  Avery,  to  Mary  Atkins,  who  died 
at  Middletown,  Conn.,  Dec.  23,  1751.  He  resided  some  years  in 
Truro  but  was  in  Provincetown  in  1732,  where  he  was  engaged  in  the 
fisheries.  About  1738  he  removed  his  family  to  Middletown.  He 
and  his  wife  Mary  were  admitted  to  the  church  at  Middletown  on 
recommendation  of  the  church  at  Provincetown,  Jan.  6,  1739.  His 
first  purchase  of  land  at  Middletown  was  on  June  18,  1739.  He  is  on 
record  in  Connecticut  as  a  "  mariner  "and  part  owner  of  one  or  more 
small  vessels.  He  was  joint  owner  with  Thomas  Goodwin,  George 
Phillips  and  Ebenezer  Sage  of  the  sloop  Diamond.  In  the  fall  of 
1745  they  chartered  this  vessel  to  Maj.  Jabez  Hamlin  as  a  transport 
to  carry  Connecticut  troops  to  Louisbourg.  She  sailed  in  November 
of  that  year  and  soon  after  arrived.  She  was  detained  in  the  service 
until  Feb.  3,  1746,  when  she  sailed  from  Louisbourg  for  New  London, 
but  foundered  at  sea  on  the  home  trip. 

In  May,  1751,  Ephraim  Doane  presented  a  memorial  to  the  Assem- 
bly of  Connecticut,  showing  these  facts  and  setting  forth  that  his 
two  sons  were  among  those  lost  in  the  vessel ;  that  the  sons  were  his 
great  dependence  in  his  advanced  years,  and  that  by  their  loss,  and 
loss  of  his  vessel,  he  was  brought  under  pitiable  circumstances. 
Whereupon  the  Assembly  passed  a  resolution  granting  him  a  gratuity 
of  £150  old  tenor  bills. 

His  wife,  Mary,  was  buried  in  the  old  burial  ground  on  the   bank 
of  the  river  at  Middletown  ;  gravestone.

43  ELISHA4  DOANE  (Hezekiah,3  Ephraim,2  John1)  was  bora, 
probably,  at  Provincetown,  Mass.  His  birth  is  not  recorded  on  town 
records ;  but,  if  the  figures  on  his  gravestone  are  correct,  he  was  born 
about  1699.  He  died  at  Wellfleet,  Mass.,  Dec.  7,  1759.  "  Elisha 
Doane  of  Cape  Cod  and  Hannah  Cole  of  Eastham  were  married  at 
Cape  Cod  the  26th  of  February,  1718-19,  by  John  Avery,  pastor  of 
the  church  at  Truro." 

They  settled  in  that  part  of  Eastham,  now  called  Wellfleet,  where 
he  was  extensively  engaged  in  the  whale  fisheries,  and  in  which  busi- 
ness he  was  quite  successful.  On  the  organization  of  the  Congrega- 
tional church  there  in  1730,  he  was  chosen  one  of  its  deacons  and 
continued  in  the  office  till  his  death.  On  Feb.  20,  1744-5,  he  was 
commissioned  Captain  of  the  4th  Co.  7th  Mass.  Regt.  in  the  Louis- 
bourg  expedition,  a  regiment  made  up  from  Barnstable  county  under 
command  of  Col.  Shubael  Gorham.  Captain  Doane  was  one  of 
the  first  who  started  for  Cape  Breton,  and  it  is  understood  that  his 
company  saw  severe  service  at  Louisbourg  and  participated  in  the 
attacks  on  the  "Island  Battery."  After  the  capitulation,  he  remained 
at  Louisbourg  on  garrison  duty,  and  it  is  possible  that  he  had  his 
family  with  him. 

It  is  claimed  that  his  daughter,  Ruth,  died  at  Cape  Breton,  aged 
fifteen  years,  and  his  son  Elisha,  Jr.,  was  there  as  an  ensign  in  his 
father's  company.  On  June  24,  1746,  Captain  Doane  set  forth  in  a 
petition  to  the  General  Court  of  Massachusetts  that  his  company  was 
one  of  the  first  that  went  down  upon  the  expedition,  that  their  wages 
were  but  £5  per  month,  that  they  "  lost  all  benefit  of  plunder  by  the 
capitulation  "  and  praying  therefore  that  the  court  would  grant  to 
his  company  their  arms,  swords,  etc.  It  is  reported  in  the  History 
of  Eastham  that  the  Doane  hero  at  Louisbourg  underwent  much  suf- 
fering by  captivity  after  the  fall  of  the  fortress,  and  the  facts  stated 
are  largely  true,  but  all  the  honor,  service  and  hardship  are  ascribed 
to  Capt.  Elisha's  father,  Hezekiah  Doane,  Sen.,  who  in  1745  was  73 
years  old,  in  fact,  too  far  advanced  in  life  for  any  military  service. 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  85 

On  Jan.  31,  1747,  French  and  Indian  troops  from  Bay  Verte  and 
Chignecto,  between  five  and  six  hundred  strong,  arrived  at  Grand  Pre 
on  the  Basin  of  Minas,and  in  a  blinding  snowstorm  at  2  A.M.  attacked 
the  detachment  of  Mass.  troops  quartered  there  under  command  of 
Lt.  Col.  Noble.  The  surprise  was  a  complete  one  and  among  those 
captured  by  the  enemy  and  held  as  prisoners  of  war  was  our  Capt. 
Elisha,  who  was  taken  first  to  Bay  Verte,  thence  to  Quebec,  arriving 
there  June  17,  1747.  It  is  understood  that  he  suffered  "  all  but 
death  "  at  the  hands  and  mercy  of  the  French. 

While  at  Quebec  he  became  surety  for  the  redemption  money  of 
Rachel  Quackinbush  who  had  been  stolen  by  the  Indians,  and  pur- 
chased by  the  French. 

There  is  no  doubt  whatever  as  to  the  identity  of  the  Captain  Doane 
who  figured  at  Louisburg  and  who  was  one  of  the  victims  of  French 
hostility  at  Grand  Pre.  He  was  none  other  than  Capt.  Elisha,  son  of 
Hezekiah  of  Wellfleet. 

His  name  appears  in  an  account,  endorsed  March  8,  1747-8,  of 
money  paid  to  Minas  prisoners  from  Canada.  Only  a  little  can  be 
learned  of  the  career  of  Capt.  or  Col.  Elisha  Doane,  but  what  has 
come  down  to  us  shows  him  to  have  been  a  man  of  great  courage, 
daring,  shrewdness  and  enterprise.  He  was  well  known  in  Barnstable 
County  where  he  was  a  man  of  prominence  and  influence,  and  where  he 
was  esteemed  for  his  intelligence,  judgment,  coolness  and  discretion  in 
his  public  and  private  life.  The  church  mourned  him  and  lamented 
his  death.  I  think  it  was  he  who  was  called  "  King  Doane"  by  the 
people,  and  doubtless  the  appellation  was  deservedly  given.  His 
sword,  with  bis  name  engraved  upon  it,  is  still  in  possession  of  his 
descendants. 

His  will,  dated  May  26,  1758,  and  proved  Mar.  4,  1760,  is  on  record 
at  Barnstable.  It  was  witnessed  by  his  pastor  Rev.  Isaiah  Lewis, 
Edward  Bacon  and  David  Gorham.  His  sons  Elisha  and  Joseph  were 
the  executors.     He  shows  the  man  in  his  disposition  of  his  property. 

He  died  Dec.  7,  1759,  and  lies  buried  with  his  wife  and  other 
members  of  the  family,  in  the  Duck  Creek  burial  ground,  at  Wellfleet. 
His  widow  died  at  Wellfleet,  Feb.  25,  1786,  at  the  extreme  age  of 
ninety-five  years. 

The  following  is  inscribed  on  his  gravestone  : 

Elisha  Doane  Esq.  died  December  7,  1759  aetatis  suse 
60 ;  sustained  the  office  of  a  deacon  near  30  years  from 
the  first  gathering  of  the  church,  and  after  several  military

commissions  —  A  Dom  1758  received  a  Lieutenant  Colonel's 
commission  in  the  army  for  the  reduction  of  Canada. 

Pray  think  of  me  as  you  pass  by, 
As  you  are  now  so  once  was  I. 
But  now  I  lie  dissolved  to  dust, 
In  hopes  to  rise  among  the  just. 

The  will  of  Col.  Elisha  Doane.

49  EBENEZER4  DOANE  (Ebenezer,3  Ephraim,2  John1)  was 
bora  at  Truro,  Mass.,  Aug.  22,  1706  and  was  baptized  there  by  Rev. 
John  Avery,  Sept.  13,  1713.  He  married  Elizabeth  Skillings,  who 
was  bora  Apr.  25, 1713,  the  daughter  of  Samuel3  and  Aroda  (Haley) 
Skillings  (John,2  Thomas1)  of  Kittery,  and  Falmouth,  Me.  Mr. 
Doane  went  to  Falmouth  perhaps  as  early  as  the  spring  of  1739, 
when  seven  or  eight  families,  among  whom  were  the  principal 
inhabitants,  removed  from  Provincetown  to  Casco  Bay.  He  was 
probably  a  seafaring  man.  They  settled  at  Long  Creek,  Cape 
Elizabeth.  After  the  death  of  her  husband,  of  which  we  have  no 
record,  Mrs.  Doane  went  to  live  with  her  daughter,  Joanna  Berry,  at 
Buckfield,  where  she  died  very  aged.  But  little  can  be  learned  of 
Ebenezer  Doane.  The  probate  records  were  burned  in  the  Portland 
fire.  I  copy  the  history  of  this  family  from  the  Maine  Genealogical 
Recorder.  The  births  of  their  children  are  not  recorded  on  the  town 
or  church  records  of  Cape  Elizabeth,  but  the  following  list  is  made 
up  from  reliable  sources.

FIFTH   GENERATION. 


50  ELISHA5  DOANE  (John,4  John,*  John,9  John1)  was  born  in 
Boston,  Mass.,  Nov.  27,  1721  and  died  in  London,  England,  about 
1771.  He  married  Miss  Mary  Eldredge,  the  daughter  of  a  planter 
of  Barbados,  W.  I.  Mr.  Doane  was  the  youngest  son  of  John  and 
Abiah  (Callender)  Doane  and  was  a  child  of  two  years  on  the  death 
of  his  father.  He  entered  the  Royal  Navy,  and  doubtless  was  the  "Mr. 
Doane"  who  was  mate  of  the  man-of-war  Guernsey,  Capt.  Millbank, 
in  Gibraltar  harbor  in  Dec,  1759,  and  who  "  had  lost  the  thumb  and 
two  fingers  of  his  left  hand."  Elisha  Doane  was  promoted  to  a  Pur- 
sership,  and  served  under  Admiral  Lord  Rodney,  probably  on  the 
Admiral's  own  ship.     After  marriage  they  settled  in  London.

Extract  from  letter,  dated  May  20,  1879,  from  Mr.  Charles  Doane  of  Lon- 
don, grandson  of  Elisha5  Doane. 

My  grandfather  came  from  one  of  the  North  American  Colonies,  I  do  not 
know  which.  His  name  was,  I  think,  Elisha  Doane.  He  entered  the  Royal 
Navy  and  served  as  Purser  under  Lord  Rodney,  but  whether  in  the  Admiral's 
own  ship  I  do  not  know.  Elisha  Doane  was,  I  believe,  a  messmate  of  Ad- 
miral Lord  Bar  ham  who  was,  I  have  heard,  a  Lieut.,  in  the  same  ship.  They 
were  promoted  together  to  a  Lieutenancy  and  to  a  Pursership.  The  reason 
why  I  say  I  believe  and  I  think,  arises  from  the  fact  that  my  grandfather, 
Elisha  Doane,  died  while  my  father  was  yet  a  child,  or  at  any  rate  a  very 
little  boy  and  therefore  he  (my  father)  could  tell  us  very  little.  Elisha 
Doane  married  a  Miss  Mary  Eldredge  dan.  of  a  planter  in  Barbados.  The 
estate  of  Eldredge  is  now  of  considerable  importance  in  Barbados  as  I  learn 
from  the  late  Governor  Sir  James  Walker,  a  friend  of  ours.  My  father, 
Joseph  Proud  Doane,  was  the  only  son  of  Elisha  Doane  R.  N.  and  Mary 
Eldredge  his  wife.  He  was  christened  Proud  after  his  godfather  a  Capt. 
Proud  of  the  Royal  Navy,  but  he  disliked  the  name  and  was  known  only  as 
Joseph  Doane.  My  father  died  in  1833  aged  62 ;  this  and  assuming  that  Elisha 
Doane  was  about  60  when  he  died,  will  enable  you  to  come  very  near  to  the 
time  when  Elisha  Doane  entered  the  navy  from  the  Colonies.  Elisha  Doane 
(92) 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  93 

of  the  R.  N.,  had  powerful  friends  and  my  father  as  a  young  man  was  ap- 
pointed Auditor  of  the  Corporation  of  Bedford  Level  which  gave  him  official 
chambers  in  the  Temple,  the  entrance  to  which  was  in  Fairfield  Court,  now 
pulled  down.     My  father  later  in  life  formed  a  connection  with  the  Public 

Press. 

Richard  Doane,  the  eldest  of  us,  was  a  Barrister  and  while  studying  for 
the  Bar  was  the  friend,  pupil  and  sometime  secretary  to  the  great  Juris 
Consult  Jeremy  Beutham.      Jeremy  Bentham  in  his  will  left  my  brother 
Richard  all  his  books  on  English  Law  and  Richard  Doane  edited  that  portion 
of  the  posthumous  edition  of   Hentliam's  works  which  related  to  English 
Law.     Joseph  Doane  followed  in  his  father's  footsteps,  and  I  in  1828  was 
entered  a  student  in  the  Royal  Academy  of  Arts.     But  brother  Joseph  and 
myself,  sole  survivors,  each  in  the  possession  of  a  competent  fortune,  use 
such  talents  as  we   may  possess  only  in  the  solace  of  unlimited  leisure. 
Bishop  Doane,  the  Bishop  of  Albany,  U.  S.,  was  over  here  last  summer  to 
attend  the  Lambeth  Synod  and  took  a  keen  interest  with  us  in  endeavoring  to 
trace  the  origin  of  the  family  here  and  he  told  me,  that  his  father,  the  Bishop 
of  New  Jersey,  had  the  same  feeling.    Edmondson  in  his  Book  of  Heraldry, 
gives  the  Doanes  as  springing  from  Ireland  and  gives  the  Arms  as  a  Uni- 
corn salient  on  a  field  azure,  crucily  or.  and  these  are  the  Arms  which  my 
brother  and  myself  bear,  having  three  generations  free  from  trade  and  so  en- 
titled to  Coat  Armour.    Sir  Bernard  Burk  in  his  book  on  Armoury  has  copied 
the  Doane  shield  from  Edmondson.      I  never  knew,  or  met  or  heard  of  any 
family  by  the  name  of  Doane  in  this  country  except  my  own.     There  are 
plenty  of  Dones,  they  are  from  Cheshire.      Both  the  Heralds  College  in 
London,  and  the  Dublin  College  have  been  searched  in  vain.    The  latter  says 
we  are  the  O'Douanes  of  Connaught,  but  this  is  all  nonsense.     There  is  no 
doubt  of  our  affinity  with  the  American  Doanes  but  their  name  is  legion. 

51  JOHN5  DOANE  (John,4  John,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at 
Scituate,  Mass.,  Nov.  6,  1765,  and  died  there  Jan.  21,  1805.  He 
married  Dec.  22,  1784,  Lucy  Studley  Litchfield,  born  Apr.  20,  1761, 
and  died  at  Scituate,  Feb.  12,  1839,  the  daughter  of  Josiah4  and 
Abigail  (Studley)  Litchfield.  Mr.  Doane  was  a  mariner  and  farmer, 
and  lived  in  Scituate.  The  records  style  him  "Captain."  Widow 
Lucy  was  appointed  to  settle  his  estate,  May  21,  1805.  Inventory 
amounted  to  $4279.60.  He  was  buried  in  Groveland  cemetery,  North 
Scituate  (gravestone) .

born  at  Eastham,  Mass.,  July  4,  1732  and  died  at  Petersham,  Mass., 
Apr.  1,  1820.     He  was  buried  beside  his  wife  in  the  old  cemetery  at 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  95 

Dana.  He  married  Bethia .  We  have  no  record  of  the  mar- 
riage, but  she  died  at  Dana,  Apr.  16,  1812,  aged  about  86  years. 

Noah  Doane  succeeded  to  his  father's  farm,  and  lived  in  his 
father's  house,  in  the  north  part  of  the  present  town  of  Eastham. 
On  Mar.  22,  1797,  he  sold  the  Eastham  place  to  his  son  Zenas,  and, 
taking  his  household  effects  and  his  live  stock,  together  with  his 
youngest  son  Edward  and  wife  Sarah,  removed  from  the  Cape  into 
Worcester  county  where,  on  the  19th  of  April  following,  he  bought 
of  Silas  Johnson,  for  $1533,  a  farm  of  one  hundred  acres  with  one 
story  wooden  house  and  barn,  in  that  part  of  Petersham  set  off  in 
1801  as  the  town  of  Dana.  Here  the  two  families  occupied  the  same 
house,  the  son  sailing  each  year  from  about  the  middle  of  Sept.  to 
the  middle  of  March  on  voyages  to  the  West  Indies  or  to  the  West 
of  Africa.  On  Mar.  16,  1808,  Noah  Doane  deeded  the  Dana  farm 
to  his  son  Edward  who,  Apr.  15,  1816,  sold  out  and  bought  a  farm 
of  one  hundred  and  seventy  acres  in  the  south  part  of  the  present 
town  of  Petersham. 

Noah  Doane  was  a  large  man  fully  six  feet  tall,  and  of  remarkable 
vitality.  When  eighty-seven  years  old  he  used  to  spring  from  the 
ground  into  his  saddle  and  gallop  his  horse  off  to  Hardwick  to  visit 
his  daughter  Priscilla.

posed was  killed  at  battle  of  Greenbush,  N.  Y.,  leaving  the 
widow  with  three  children,  one  of  whom  was  a  son,  Eph-

had  seen  much  trouble."

tions,  Jan.  25,  1766).  He  was  a  soldier  in  Col.  Thomas  Wins- 
low's  regiment  against  the  French  in  Nova  Scotia  in  1758.  He  was 
also  in  the  Revolutionary  War.  His  name  appears  in  a  descriptive 
list  of  men  dated  Jan.  11,  1781,  as  matross  in  Capt.  John  Sluman's 
Co.,  3rd  Artillery  Regt.,  age,  44  ;  stature,  5  ft.,  10  in.  ;  complexion, 
fair;  engaged  for  town  of  Eastham,  Mar  12,  1777  ;  discharged  Mar. 
2,  1780.  In  1779,  he  petitioned  the  General  Court  of  Mass.,  and 
obtained  the  passage  of  a  Resolve  on  June  24th  of  that  year,  that 
the  Board  of  War  supply  his  family  with  provisions  to  the  amount 
of  £3  aud  that  the  town  of  Eastham  be  accountable  for  the  same. 
He  is  not  mentioned  in  his  father's  will  dated  May  5,  1786.  He 
probably  died  before  Mar.  3,  1790,  as  on  that  date  his  father  was 
appointed  guardian  of  his  six  minor  children.

57  JOHN5  DOANE  (Simeon,4  Samuel,3  John,2  John')  was  born 
at  Eastham,  Mass.,  about  1738  or  1739.  The  town  records  give  his 
name  in  the  list  of  his  father's  children,  but  not  the  date  of  his  birth. 
He  died  at  Eastham,  Apr.  19,  1800  in  the  62nd  year  of  bis  age,  and 
was  buried  in  Herring  Pond  burial-ground  near  the  old  church  where 
he  had  worshipped  (gravestones).  He  married  about  1761  Betsey 
Snow  who  died  Oct.  22,  1819  (gravestone,  Herring  Pond  burial- 
ground)  . 

John  Doane  was  a  private  in  the  war  against  the  French  in  1758, 
under  Capt.  Samuel  Knowles,  in  Col.  Thomas  Doty's  Regt. ;  also 
private,  Capt.  Jabez  Snow's  Co.,  Col.  John  Thomas  Regt.,  at  An- 
napolis Royal,  from  Mar.  27  to  Nov.  1,  1759;  also  same  Co.  from 
Nov.  2,  1759  to  June  23, 1760.  He  lived  in  the  present  town  of  East- 
ham, on  the  north  side  of  the  harbor. 

The  house  he  built  and  occupied  was  sold,  first,  to  his  brother 
Isaiah  Doane  (60),  then  to  his  son  Heman  Doane  (129),  and  from  him 
it  passed  to  Heman  Doane,  Jr.  (319),  and  was  standing  until  a  few 
years  ago  when  it  was  torn  down.  Mrs.  Betsey  Doane  used  to  say  that 
she  could  stand  in  her  doorway  and  see  the  house  of  each  of  her  four 
sons.  Mr.  Doane  was  a  deacon  of  the  church  in  the  middle  parish 
during  Rev.  Mr.  Cheever's  ministry.  Their  house  of  worship,  erected 
about  1819,  stood  near  Herring  Pond.

one  daughter,  Adelia  Cobb.  About  1791,  Benjamin  Doane  moved 
from  the  Cape  to  the  North  Parish  of  Brookfield,  where  he  bought  a

61  ELISHA5  DOANE  (Jonathan,4  Dr.  David,3  John,2  John1) 
was  born  at  Eastham,  Mass.,  Nov.  24,  1724,  and  died  at  Spencer,

until  within  late  years.  His  widow  Martha  drew  a  pension  for  his 
Revolutionary  service.     He  was  named  one  of  the  executors  of  his 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  101 

father's  will,  probated  Feb.  8,  1780,  but  declined  to  act  as  such — 
"As  I  live  remote  and  my  business  is  such,  that  I  resign  acting  as 
executor." 

He  was  a  blacksmith  and  probably  learned  the  trade  in  his  father's 
shop  at  Eastham ;  but,  becoming  more  or  less  involved  in  debt  to 
Col.  Elisha  Doane  of  Wellfleet  (103),  his  Eastham  place  was  sold 
Apr.  19,  1769.  They  moved  from  the  Cape  and  settled  in  Brookfield. 
He  bought  one  hundred  and  thirty-five  acres  of  land  there,  from 
Ebenezer  Harrington,  Nov.  6,  1779,  and  is  then  styled  "  gentleman, 
of  Brookfield."  His  widow  Martha  spent  her  last  days  at  the  home  of 
his  grandson  Cheney  Doane  (325).  His  will,  dated  Oct.  23,  1804, 
was  proved  Oct.  23,  1810.  He  names  wife  Martha;  daughter  Martha 
Doane ;  sons  Amos,  Oliver,  Elisha  and  Nathan ;  daughter  Lucy 
Flagg  to  whom  he  gave  "one  silver  table  spoon."

through  life  an  uncommon  share  of  health,  seldom  experiencing  the  least  sickness,  and 
maintaining  his  faculties  to  the  last.  He  came  to  this  country  several  years  previous  to 
the  American  Revolution,  and  remembered  well  of  having  travelled  from  Roseway  to 
Annapolis,  round  the  shores,  when  a  house  was  not  to  be  seen  for  several  miles.  He 
lived  under  four  different  sovereigns  of  the  house  of  Brunswick.— Acadian  Recorder,

70  JOHN5  DOANE  (David,4  David,3  John,9  John1)  was  born 
about  1760  and  died  at  Richland,  Oswego  Co.,  N.  Y.,  Jan.  9,  1831 

*  Extract  from  Mrs.  Sarah  Barnes'  letter :  My  father  was  apprenticed  to  learn  a  trade, 
and  at  the  age  of  seventeen  or  eighteen,  he  went  on  one  or  two  whaling  voyages  to  the 
west  of  Greenland.  When  the  War  of  Independence  broke  out  he  joined  the  army  and 
was  a  commissary.  After  peace  was  declared,  a  farm  was  set  off  to  him,  I  think,  at 
Tinmouth,  Vt.,  valued  at  $1000,  as  payment  for  his  services  and  which  he  afterwards 
sold,  receiving  therefor  Continental  money.  This  so  depreciated  on  his  hands  that  it 
took  $250  to  buy  a  two  yearold  steer.  Left  nearly  penniless,  but  with  health,  ambition 
and  courage  he  resolved  still  to  live  and  prosper.  He  married  at  the  age  of  27,  took  a 
farm  in  Shaftsbury,  Vt.,  for  one  or  two  years,  then  bought  a  farm  in  Granville,  N.  T., 
cleared  it,  built  a  log  house  and  moved  into  it.  After  doing  so  much,  he  found  his  title 
was  defective,  and  had  to  pay  for  the  farm  a  second  time ;  but,  with  courage  unabated,  he 
pursued  his  way  till  he  became  comparatively  wealthy  and  independent.  My  mother's 
father  was  a  Dr.  Fuller,  who  came  from  Norwich,  Conn.,  to  Vt.  My  mother  was  born  in 
Norwich,  and  was  four  years  of  age  when  her  parents  came  to  Bennington,  Vt.  My 
mother's  family  name  was  Smith.  Several  of  the  family  used  to  visit  us,  among  whom 
were  Uncle  Ephraim  Smith  and  several  of  his  children.  They  all  were  quite  wealthy. 
Grandfather  Fuller  was  a  surgeon  in  the  army.  My  mother  was  a  young  lady  of  eight- 
een or  nineteen  at  the  time  of  the  Battle  of  Bennington.  Besides  her  father,  I  think  she 
had  one  or  two  brothers  in  the  army.  The  Bennington  church  was  used  for  a  hospital 
and  some  of  the  wounded  and  prisoners  were  quartered  in  Grandfather  Fuller's  house, 
and  it  was  after  the  wounded  and  prisoners  were  removed,  the  church  cleaned  and 
notice  given  that  divine  service  would  be  held,  that  my  mother  went  to  church  and  met 
my  father  for  the  first  time.  She  had  seen  a  brother  and  sister  of  his  before.  The  only 
brother  of  my  father  that  I  ever  saw  was  Uncle  John  Doane.  He  lived  at  White  Creek, 
N.  Y.  He  used  to  visit  us  quite  often  with  his  sons  John  and  Hiram,  but  none  of  them 
since  my  father's  death.

Sept.,  1844.  He  probably  resided  for  a  time  at  White  Creek,  N.  Y., 
and  later  at  Litchfield,  N.  Y.,  and  in  Oswego  Co.  It  is  claimed  that 
he  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier;  that  "  he  was  in  an  old  prison  ship 
in  New  York  for  eighteen  months."  In  a  list  of  those  confiued  in  the

74  SETH5  DOANE  (Joseph,4  Joseph,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was 
born  at  Eastham,  Mass.,  June  9,  1733  and  died  at  Middle  Haddam, 
Conn.,  Oct.  18,  1802.  He  married  Feb.  23,  1758,  by  Rev.  Benjamin

that  he  and  hissonSeth,  Jr.,  were  taken  prisoners  by  the  British  from 
a  merchant  vessel  in  1776,  the  father  at  the  time  being  mate  of  the 
vessel  on  which  he  was  captured.  They  were  released  in  1777  and  the 
younger  Seth  died  soon  after  at  his  father's,  from  sickness  contract- 
ed while  a  prisoner  and  due  to  his  captivity.  He  and  his  fellow  pris- 
oners were  told  that  their  last  meal  before  their  release  should  be  a 
good  one.  Savory  soup  was  set  before  them,  and  they  all  partook 
except  one  who  did  not  like  onions,  with  which  the  soup  was  flavored, 
and  who  returned  comparatively  well.  Of  those  who  ate,  all  died, 
either  on  their  way  home  or  soon  after  their  arrival,  from  the  effects 
of  poison  mixed  with  their  food.  On  Mar.  9,  1778,  Seth  Doane,  Sen., 
was  on  a  committee  to  provide  clothes  for  the  Continental  soldiers. 
He  appears  as  master  of  a  privateer.  He  is  said  to  have  been  zealous 
in  the  Point  Judith  engagement.

*  Extract  from  letter  of  Joseph  Chapman  to  his  brother-in-law  Stephen  Ulter,  dated 
Salem,  O.,  Aug.  12,  1816: 

I  address  you  to  inform  you  of  our  relatives  in  this  country.  My  wife  does  not  enjoy 
a  very  good  state  of  health  this  summer,  although  she  keeps  about  and  does  her  work. 
As  for  myself,  I  am  well  as  to  bodily  health  though  not  able  to  walk  without  crutches, 
having  but  little  use  of  my  hands  and  feet.  Brother  R.  Doane  and  wife  are  not  very 
well,  though  much  better  than  he  was  last  spring.  His  wife  is  much  better  than  she  was 
when  Mr.  Post  was  here.  We  heard  of  the  death  of  our  aged  father  Doane  by  way  of  a 
letter  from  Mr.  Abram  Towner  to  Mr.  Beaumont,  likewise  of  the  death  of  brother  John 
Doane.  I  wish  you  to  write  by  the  first  opportunity,  and  let  me  know  what  their  disease 
was,  and  whether  they  felt  resigned  to  the  will  of  Cod.  Happy  and  thrice  happy  are  the 
dead  who  die  in  the  Lord.  I  let  out  my  farm  yearly  as  I  am  not  able  to  do  any  labor 
myself.  I  find  team  and  farming  utensils  and  have  half  of  everything  that  is  raised 
on  the  farm.  The  fruit  was  so  cut  off  last  spring  that  I  do  not  expect  to  make  any  cider 
this  season.  Lyman  Doane  lives  with  me  yet,  but  I  expect  he  will  go  home  in  the  fall. 
Tell  Edmund  I  wish  he  woidd  send  on  one  of  his  boys,  to  take  care  of  me  in  my  de- 
crepit state.  We  want  to  see  you  all  very  much,  but  it  is  not  likely  we  ever  shall  unless 
you  come  to  this  country.  I  hope  yet  we  shall  see  some  of  our  friends  here.  Guy  Doane 
was  here  last  winter  and  tarried  with  us  about  three  weeks,  then  went  down  to  Cincin- 
nati. He  wrote  to  me  about  a  month  after,  but  we  have  not  heard  from  him  since.  I  wish 
you  to  inform  me  concerning  the  times,  and  the  situations  of  our  relatives  and  whether 
any  of  them  talk  of  coming  to  this  country  or  not.  There  has  been  for  a  year  past  a 
great  revival  of  religion,  but  chiefly  among  the  Free  Will  Baptists,  or  as  some  term  them 
New  Lights.

86  ISRAEL5  DOANE  (Edmund,4  Israel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was 
born  at  Eastham,  Mass.,  Dec.  20,  1750  and  died  at  Argyle,  Nova 
Scotia,  Feb.  1,  1844.  He  married  at  Barrington,  N.  S.,  Dec.  17, 
1772,  Desire  Nickerson  who  died  of  asthma,  at  Argyle,  Mar.  28, 
1835,  the  daughter  of  Daniel  Nickerson. 

Mr.  Doane  went  with  his  father's  family  from  Cape  Cod  to  Nova 
Scotia  in  1761.  After  his  marriage  he  settled  first  at  Barrington 
Head,  near  the  schoolhouse  on  the  hill,  formerly  known  as  "  Uncle 
Ned's  Hill."  A  field  down  by  the  cove  near  there  is  still  known  as 
"  Uncle  Israel's  Field."  Possibly  they  went  from  there  to  Barring- 
ton Passage,  but  in  June,  1781,  they  moved  from  Barrington  to 
Little  River  where,  on  Mar.  1,  1787,  he  with  his  wife's  father  Daniel 
Nickerson,  John  Heater  (from  Liverpool,  N.  S.),  Nathan  Kinney 
and  Joshua  Trefry,  purchased  a  tract  of  twelve  hundred  and  fifty 

*  Judge  Azor  B.  Crane,  b.  May  25, 1801 ;  d.  Oct.  14,  1864.  He  was,  during  his  whole  life, 
one  of  the  principal  citizens  of  Putnam  Co.  In  1843,  he  was  appointed  Judge  of  the  Court 
of  Common  Pleas.  He  was  the  first  County  Judge  and  Surrogate  elected  under  the  new 
constitution  in  1817.  In  private  life  Judge  Crane  was  a  man  of  great  benevolence  and 
kindly  feeling,  which  made  him  popular  among  all  classes  of  people,  and  the  poor  and 
afflicted  found  in  him  a  ready  and  efficient  friend.  In  public  affairs  he  was  noted  for 
his  Integrity  and  good  business  capacity,  and  his  opinions  and  discussions  were  always 
received  with  a  respect  they  most  justly  deserved.  Ch.:  1.  Benjamin  Doane,  b.  Sept.

acres  of  Crown  Lands.  At  Little  River,  his  house  stood  on  what 
was  the  home  lot  of  the  late  Thomas  Smith,  Jr.  Until  a  few  years 
ago  an  old  cellar  and  a  large  branching  apple-tree,  said  to  have 
grown  from  seed  planted  by  wife  Desire,  marked  the  site  of  his  house. 
On  Mar.  5,  1792,  he  sold  his  property  at  Little  River  to  John  and 
David  Pinkney  for  sixty  pounds,  and  removed  to  Roberts  Island, 
Argyle  township,  where  he  purchased  and  occupied  all  the  land  below 
the  brook,  running  near  the  house  of  Reuben  Goodwin.  Having  a 
good  education  for  the  times,  Mr.  Doane  taught  school  at  Tusket 
Lakes,  in  the  house  of  Maj.  Samuel  Andrews  and  on  Roberts  Island, 
where  a  few  years  ago  could  be  seen  a  few  old  logs  marking  the  site 
of  his  schoolhouse.  As  a  teacher,  it  is  said  that  he  was  somewhat 
lax  in  government,  but  always  his  heavy  stamp  upon  the  floor  was 
a  well  understood  signal  for  a  reign  of  law  and  order.  In  February, 
1836,  he  wrote  a  brief  and  interesting  account  of  his  ancestors,  which 
a  few  years  later  his  daughter,  Drusilla,  printed  in  a  little  pamphlet 
of  eight  pages.  Mr.  Doane  was  a  christian  man  and  doubtless  was 
a  member  of  the  Argyle  Baptist  church.  The  late  Mr.  Benjamin 
Roberts,  who  was  one  of  his  pupils,  remembered  that  he  often  led  the 
village  prayer  meetings.  It  is  understood  that  the  Rev.  Enoch  Towner 
while  visiting  at  their  home  baptized  his  wife  Desire  in  the  harbor 
only  a  few  rods  from  their  door.  They  died  at  the  home  of  their 
daughter,  Mrs.  Susannah  Kenney.  She  was  afflicted  with  asthma 
for  sixteen  years.  Both  were  buried  in  unmarked  graves  in  the  old 
burial-ground  near  the  Argyle  Baptist  church.  Her  father,  Daniel 
Nickerson,  was  born  on  Cape  Cod  about  1720,  moved  to  Liverpool, 
N.  S.,  in  1764  and  lived  there  many  years.  He  was  at  Little  River, 
Argyle  township,  in  1787,  but  on  Jan.  5,  1792,  Daniel  Nickerson  and 
wife  "  Nabby  "  sold  their  property  at  Little  River  and  removed  to 
Litchfield,  Me.,  settling  at  the  "Plains"  on  the  Toothacre  farm, 
where  he  died  June  18,  1801,  aged  80  years,  9  mos.,  leaving  several 
sons  of  whom  were  John  and  Hugh  Nickerson  of  Argyle.  (See 
History  of  Litchfield  and  an  account  of  its  Centennial  Celebration 
1895.)

Apr.  9,  1774,  Sarah  Harding,  born  at  Eastham,  Dec.  23,  1756  and 
died  at  Barrington,  May  24,  1843,  the  daughter  of   Theodore  and 


118  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Martha  (Sears)  Harding  and  sister  of  Rev.  Theodore  Seth  Harding, 
one  of  the  well  known  Baptist  Fathers  of  the  Maritime  Provinces. 
Her  father  was  one  of  the  grantees  at  Barrington  from  Eastham,  and 
in  the  division  of  the  grant  received  Lot  No.  31. 

Samuel  O.  Doane  was  nine  years  old  when  his  parents  moved  from 
Massachusetts  to  Nova  Scotia.  He  was  a  man  of  recognized  character 
and  ability  in  the  new  settlement  of  Barrington.  For  many  years  he 
was  both  Proprietor's  and  Town  Clerk,  and  many  of  the  early  records 
are  in  his  beautiful  handwriting.  He  was  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  and 
served  as  schoolmaster,  solemnizer  of  marriages  in  all  parts  of  the 
township  and  conductor  of  public  religious  services  in  the  absence 
of  any  regularly  qualified  minister.  Although  a  man  evidently  not 
seeking  prominence,  yet  probably  there  was  no  other  of  his  townsmen, 
who  so  effectually  served  them  and  who,  to  so  great  an  extent,  influ- 
enced a  succeeding  generation.  A  notice  of  his  death  in  the  Acadian 
Recorder  of  Halifax  says  :  "  Mr.  Doane  came  to  Barrington  early  in 
life  from  the  United  States ;  he  lived  long  and  respected  and  de- 
scended into  the  vale  of  death  with  the  exhilarating  hope  of  rising 
again  safe  from  diseases  and  decline."

89  DANIEL5  DOANE  (Daniel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was 
born  at  Middletown,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  1721,  6,  8  and  died  in  the 
Northern  Liberties  now  included  within  the  limits  of  Philadelphia, 
Pa.,  in  1760.  He  appears  to  have  abandoned  his  fealty  to  the  Society 
of  Friends,  as  on  June  2,  1756,  he  was  married  at  Christ's  Church  in 
Philadelphia,  to  Sarah  Dyer  of  Northampton,  Bucks  Co.  He  was  a 
carpenter  and  after  his  marriage  resided  in  Northampton,  but  subse- 
quently removed  to  the  Northern  Liberties.  In  the  fall  of  1760,  he 
was  attacked  with  a  severe  illness  of  which  he  died  shortly  after.  He 
made  his  will  Nov.  7,  1760,  and  devised  his  small  estate  to  his  wife 
Sarah,  wherewith  to  support  their  three  children.  On  Sept.  24,  1764, 
the  widow  married  John  Dorland,  and  the  children  were  taken  by 
their  uncle  Edward  Dyer  of  Northampton.  For  some  reason  their 
youngest  child,  named  in  the  will  as  Thomas,  was  always  known  as 
Daniel,  but  it  is  probable  that  the  mother  changed  his  name  while  he 
was  an  infant,  in  honor  of  his  deceased  father.

90  JOHN5  DOANE  (Daniel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was  born 
at  Middletown,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  1734,  7,  1  and  died  in  Chester  Co., 
Pa.,  1821,  3,  21.  He  married,  about  1763,  Phoebe  DeMoney,  who 
was  born  1740,  3,  15  and  died  in  Chester  Co.,  1825,  4,  15.  They 
settled  first  on  the  borders  of  Bucks  and  Montgomery  counties  where 
they  lived  several  years.  During  the  years  of  the  French  and  Indian 
wars,  they  penetrated  the  wilderness  and  fixed  their  abode  in  the  wilds 
of  the  Susquehanna  River.  Here  they  experienced  all  the  hardships 
of  frontier  life  and  met  with  many  troubles  and  disasters  in  conse- 
quence of  the  hostility  of  the  Indians,  and  many  traditions*  of  their 

*The  family  traditions  relate  that  John  was  taken  prisoner  by  the  Indians  on  three 
different  occasions.  On  one  of  these  his  wife  heard  the  shouts  of  the  Indians  indicating 
their  capture  of  a  prisoner.  Opening  the  door  she  saw  her  husband  in  the  hands  of  the 
savages  at  the  clearing  in  which  he  was  at  work  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  stream.  Com- 
prehending the  situation  she  immediately  closed  the  door,  crept  out  through  a  back 
window  and  with  the  children  made  her  way  through  the  woods  toward  the  neighboring 
settlements.    When  night  came  on,  she  took  shelter  in  a  Friends  Meeting  house,  and

sufferings  at  the  hands  of  the  natives  have  been  handed  down  to  their 
descendants.     During  the  exciting  times  of  the  Revolution  they  re- 
turned to  the  regions  of  civilization  and  again  settled  in  Montgomery 
Co.,  but  the  spirit  of  adventure  was  uppermost  aud  after  a  few  years 
they  resumed  their  former  life  in  Lycoming  Co.     About  1816,  they 
placed  their  business  affairs  in  other  hands  and  went  on  a  visit  to  their 
daughter  Rachel  at  Penn's  Park,  and  later   to  their  son  Henry  in 
Chester  Co.     It  is  claimed  that  John  doffed  his  Quaker  coat  and  saw 
service  with  the  Pennsylvania  troops  in  the  French  and  Indian  War, 
and  that  he  was  present  and  assisted  in  the  burial  of  General  Brad- 
dock,  in  July,  1755.

visited  his  home.  They  purchased  a  farm  in  Penn's  Valley, 
Berks  Co.,  Pa.,  where  he  died  in  young  manhood.  Soon 
after  marriage  they  attached  themselves  to  the  German  Re- 
formed Church,  but  her  inherited  sentiments  kept  her  to  the 
plainness  of  speech  and  dress  peculiar  to  the  Friends.  Her 
husband  left,  by  his  will,  all  of  the  property  to  her  in  her 
right  absolutely  and  by  this  inheritance  she  was  enabled  to 
enjoy  her  literary  and  personal  tastes  in  reading,  music, 
embroidery  and  other  works  of  art.  She  collected,  at  a  cost 
of  several  hundred  dollars,  quite  a  library  of  religious  works.

in  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  1716-17,  1,  11  and  died  in  Haycock  township, 

before  morning  on  the  31st  of  3rd  mo.,  1780,  her  son  Amos  was  born.  Another  time  while 
Phoebe  was  in  the  woods,  her  dog  startled  a  bear  and  drove  him  to  a  tree,  in  the  branches 
of  which  he  took  shelter.  She  called  to  a  man,  who  was  driving  a  team  near  by,  to  come 
and  help,  who  told  her  to  keep  the  bear  in  the  tree  till  his  return.  As  the  man  with  the 
team  receded,  the  bear  scrambled  down  the  tree.  As  it  neared  the  ground  she  stabbed 
him  twice  in  the  heart  with  her  pocket  knife,  from  the  effects  of  which  he  died  without 
attempting  an  attack  upon  her.  The  knife  is  still  kept  in  reverential  memory  by  one  of 
her  grandsons.

Bucks  Co.,  about  1788.  He  married  1739,  12,  13,  Hannah  Wilson. 
Mr.  Doane  settled  on  the  farm  on  the  Tohickon  Creek  in  Haycock 
township  that  was  the  property  of  his  father,  and  where  five  of  their 
children  were  born.  He  appears  to  have  become  helpless  or  inca- 
pacitated for  business  in  his  latter  days,  as  his  father's  will  bequeaths 
the  Tohickon  Creek  farm  to  John's  children,  on  condition  that  they 
support  the  said  John  during  his  lifetime.  The  exact  time  of  his 
death  has  not  been  ascertained,  but  in  1788  a  petition  was  filed  in 
court,  signed  by  Eleazer,  Hannah,  Sarah  and  Nathan  Doane,  and 
Aaron  Maulsbury  asking  for  a  division  of  fifty  acres,  the  farm  of 
their  father  John  Doan  late  of  Haycock  township,  intestate.  By 
order  of  the  court  the  property  was  sold  and  the  son,  Eleazer,  became 
the  purchaser.

two  or  three  years  when  she  married  Mr.  Doane,  and  by  her  first

and  removed  to  Ontario  with  his  family  of  seven  sons  and  one

Abigail  Pike  of  Frederick  Co.,  Va.  On  the  death  of  his  mother 
between  1740  and  1744,  Mr.  Doane  appears  to  have  been  placed 
under  the  care  of  some  relatives  or  friends.  At  the  age  of  twenty- 
one  years  he  took  a  certificate  dated  1752,  11,6,  from  the  Bucking- 
ham Meeting  which  was  read  and  he  accepted  in  membership  at  the 
Cane  Creek  meeting,  1753,2,3.  There  is  proof  that  between  the 
time  of  obtaining  his  certificate  and  producing  it  at  Cane  Creek  he 
was  married  to  his  first  wife.

12,  13  and  died  in  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  1803,  10,  15.  After  the  death 
of  his  mother  Ebenezer  Doane  with  the  other  children  appears  to  have 
been  apprenticed,  or  otherwise  placed  for  care  among  their  relatives.

His  wife,  who  was  born  in  Germany,  embarked  in  1744  for  America 
with  her  parents  Henry  and  Catherine  Sloy.  The  parents  died  on 
the  voyage.  In  consequence  of  this  marriage  Ebenezer  was  dis- 
owned by  the  Society  of  Friends  to  which  he  belonged.  In  1777, 
however,  he  applied  to  the  Buckingham  Society  to  accept  his  chil- 
dren who  were  yet  under  age,  under  the  care  of  the  Meeting.  Jona- 
than being  over  twenty-one  made  the  same  request  for  himself  and 
both  were  granted.  All  of  these  children,  except  Jonathan,  removed 
to  Canada.  Ebenezer  remained  till  1808  when,  in  the  seventy-fifth 
year  of  his  age,  he  joined  the  children  in  Canada*  and  there  in  the 
family  of  one  of  his  sons,  living  on  Yonge  street  about  thirty  miles 
north  of  Toronto,  he  died. 

The  location  of  Ebenezer's  residence  in  Bucks  County  is  somewhat 
accurately  settled  by  the  statement  of  his  son  Joseph,  that  a  part  of 
Washington's  army  was  encamped  on  a  farm  adjacent  to  his  father's, 
for  a  day  and  night  prior  to  crossing  the  Delaware  river  which  en- 
campment it  is  understood  was  near  the  mouth  of  Knowles  Creek, 
below  the  present  village  of  Brownsburg.

*  This  extract  from  Mrs.  Emily  McArthur's  letter  gives  a  more  precise  statement  of 
the  migration  to  Canada : 

"Ebenezer  Doan  was  firm  in  the  faith  and  practice  of  the  Friends,  of  which  sect  he 
was  a  member,  and  before  leaving  Pennsylvania  obtained  the  usual  certificate  of  re- 
moval dated  at  the  Meeting  in  Buckingham  on  4th  of  4th  mo.,  1808,  which  was  presented 
and  accepted  at  the  Yonge  Street  Meeting  on  the  14th  of  7th  mo.,  1808.  Similar  certifi- 
cates were  read  on  behalf  of  William,  Joseph,  Ebenezer  and  wife  with  their  three 
children,  also  for  Mahlon  and  wife  Rebecca  and  their  six  children;  also  for  his  daughter 
Mary  Doan,  all  of  which  certificates  were  approved  and  the  applicants  accepted  in 
membership.  Having  made  a  selection  of  land  for  themselves,  Ebenezer  together  with 
his  son  William  and  daughter  Mary,  both  of  whom  were  single,  formed  a  joint  house- 
hold and  so  remained  until  after  the  death  of  Ebenezer.  Ebenezer  and  his  family  took 
up  400  contiguous  acres  on  Yonge  St.,  and  in  a  few  years  the  wilderness  had  been  trans- 
formed into  a  garden  and  a  farm." 


126  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

96  JOSEPH5  DOANE  (Israel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was 
born  in  Plumstead,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  between  1726  and  1730  and  died 
in  Ontario,  Canada,  aged  about  92  years.  He  married,  about  1750, 
Hester  Viekers  who  died  in  Ontario. 

Joseph  Doane  was  the  father  of  five  of  the  "Doane  Brothers,"  cele- 
brated in  the  Revolutionary  history  of  Bucks  Co.,  and  any  account 
of  his  life  necessarily  involves  something  of  the  history  of  his  sons, 
whose  exploits  have  been  the  theme  of  so  many  newspaper  articles 
and  historical  references  during  the  past  one  hundred  years.  His 
vocation  was  that  of  a  carpenter,  which  occupation  he  followed  the 
greater  part  of  his  active  life,  and  was  prosperous  to  an  extent  that 
he  became  the  owner  of  two  farms  and  was  a  speculator  in  lands. 
They  raised  a  family  of  six  sons  and  three  daughters,  all  of  sturdy, 
strong  and  extraordinarily  well  developed  physiques.  As  children 
they  acquired  the  reputation  of  being  the  most  honest,  just  and  kindly 
disposed  of  any  of  their  companions ;  their  sense  of  justice  and 
right  was  so  firmly  developed,  that  they  would  not  even  partake  of 
the  fallen  fruit  of  a  neighbor's  orchard,  without  first  obtaining  leave 
of  the  owner.  Well  trained  as  they  were  in  the  tenets  of  the  Society 
of  Friends  to  which  they  gave  their  faith,  they  were  Loyalists  during 
the  War  of  the  Revolution,  not  merely  from  a  sense  of  duty  to  their 
King  but  from  a  sense  of  duty  to  themselves  and  their  religion. 
This  faith  in  the  doctrines  of  their  church  led  them  to  the  opinion 
that  attempts  to  change  government  by  force,  necessarily  must  be 
accompanied  by  acts  of  violence  and  bloodshed,  in  violation  of  the 
laws  of  God,  and  that  which  could  not  be  acquired  without  force  was 
not  worth  the  cost  of  getting.  This  principle  made  them  loyal  to  the 
Crown  while  it  was  in  power,  and  was  the  ground  of  their  neutrality 
during  the  troublous  times  of  the  Revolutionary  war.  They  were 
known  as  Friends,  loyal  to  the  Crown  in  their  sentiments  though 
neutral  in  action,  and  for  a  time  were  left  at  rest  and  peace  as  much 
as  were  the  general  body  of  the  Friends  of  the  county. 

The  conduct  of  Joseph  and  his  sons  was  consistent  with  their  prin- 
ciples, and  commanded  the  respect  of  their  neighbors  until  the  inde- 
pendence of  the  Colonies  had  been  well  assured  by  the  successes  of 
the  army  after  1776,  when  the  war  became  one  for  entire  independ- 
ence, between  which  and  1783  when  the  preliminary  treaty  of 
peace  was  made  in  February,  the  assumed  government  assumed  to 
all  the  powers  of  an  established  one,  and  some  changes  of  laws  were 
made  not  so  liberal  toward  the  neutral  Friends  as  those  of  the  former 
government. 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  127 

Of  these  changes,  the  exactions  for  military  service  and  the  fines 
for  non-compliance  fell  most  heavily  upon  those  who  conscientiously 
looked  upon  war  as  the  worst  of  all  evils.  Members  of  the  Society 
of  Friends  refused  to  train  in  the  militia  musters,  or  to  pay  the  pen- 
alties imposed,  leaving  the  officers  to  collect  the  exactions  by  process 
of  law,  to  which  these  non-resisting  people  made  no  more  forcible 
objections  than  remonstrance  and  the  pressure  of  moral  suasion.  It 
was  not  the  amount  of  those  penalties  that  gave  them  so  much  grief, 
as  the  fact  of  their  being  compelled  to  support  a  system  of  violence 
and  bloodshed  that  was  at  variance  with  their  sense  of  duty  to  their 
Creator.  Joseph,  and  his  sons  who  had  grown  to  be  over  eighteen 
years  of  age,  became  in  the  new  order  of  tilings  subject  to  these 
exactions  which  they  by  omission  refused  to  pay,  and  had  their  prop- 
erty seized  and  sold  by  the  collectors. 

Whatever  Joseph  may  have  done  to  render  himself  subject  to  the 
direct  action  of  the  law  is  not  clear  but,  on  November  11,  1777,  he 
was  fined  fifty  dollars  by  the  Bucks  County  Court  at  Newtown  for 
"misdemeanor."  With  the  reputation  for  uprightness  and  integrity 
that  still  clings  to  the  memory  of  Joseph  Doane  through  his  neigh- 
bors and  the  descendants  of  those  who  knew  him,  we  can  imagine  no 
act  of  his  that  could  make  him  subject  to  the  penal  law,  except  such 
as  might  be  connected  with  his  omission  to  pay  the  military  taxes 
which  was  often  construed  to  be  a  form  of  misdemeanor. 

Hence  the  strong  sense  of  justice  in  himself  and  his  children  would 
be  greatly  outraged  by  such  a  public  act  of  disgrace,  and  he  would 
by  omission  refuse  to  comply  with  any  order  of  the  court,  an  action 
in  which  it  is  reasonable  to  suppose  he  would  be  supported  by  all  of 
his  children.  Whatever  he  did  in  this  matter  of  the  penalty  we  have 
no  means  of  determining,  but  it  is  concluded  that  Joseph  omitted  to 
comply  with  the  order  of  the  court  and  left  its  commands  to  be 
enforced  by  process  of  law.  It  is  not  unreasonable  to  suppose  that 
these  exactions  brought  to  the  minds  of  Joseph's  sons  such  a  sense  of 
wrong  and  oppression,  as  to  break  down  the  results  of  their  early 
training,  and  prompt  them  to  enter  upon  those  acts  of  reprisal  for 
which  they  became  extensively  known  and  ultimately  published  as 
outlaws. 

Certain  it  is  that,  from  about  the  time  of  the  enforcement  of  this 
penalty,  they  ceased  their  habits  of  industry  and  entered  upon  a 
course  of  listless  roving,  that  ended  in  misfortune  and  trouble  to 
them  all. 


128  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Much  has  been  published  from  time  to  time  through  local  news- 
papers, and  works  of  fiction  as  to  their  being  Tories  and  enemies  of 
the  country,  but  no  official  record  or  testimony  has  yet  been  pro- 
duced to  show  that  they  or  any  of  them  ever  took  up  arms  against 
the  country,  or  carried  intelligence  to  the  enemy  respecting  the  dis- 
position or  movements  of  the  American  army ;  nor  is  it  in  any  way 
shown,  other  than  by  their  neutral  attitude  of  non-resistance,  that 
they  ever  gave  aid  and  comfort  to  the  mother  country,  and  no  act  of 
theirs  has  ever  been  shown  that  presented  an  appearance  of  being 
other  than  reprisals  for  the  recovery  of  property  that  had  by  the  forms 
of  law  in  their  estimation  been  unjustly  taken  from  them.  Whatever 
others  may  have  done  in  the  way  of  plundering  and  in  so  doing  left 
the  burden  of  the  act  upon  the  Uoans  that  seems  to  melt  away  under 
the  scrutiny  of  close  investigation. 

Whatever  may  have  subsequently  transpired  with  respect  to  Joseph, 
the  records  are  entirely  silent  until  after  the  robbery  of  the  Treasury 
at  Newtown  on  the  night  of  Oct.  22,  1781. 

A  complicity  with  this  affair  is  charged  upon  him  by  Jesse  Vickers, 
who,  under  a  promise  of  pardon  from  sentence  of  death,  turned  state's 
evidence  and  gave  information  as  to  the  persons  participating  in  that 
robbery.  Much  allowance  should  be  made  for  a  statement  where  one 
person  seeks  to  save  his  own  life  by  throwing  guilt  upon  another. 
His  brother  Solomon  Vickers,  who  made  confession  at  the  same  time, 
was  convicted  of  perjury.  The  statements  of  these  two  convicts  in- 
duce the  inference  that  Joseph  Doan,  Sen.,  was  residing  on  his  farm 
in  Plumstead  at  the  time  of  the  commission  of  the  robbery  of  the 
Treasury,  and  knew  nothing  of  the  affair  until  some  time  after,  and 
that  his  complicity  consisted  in  harboring  his  sons,  Aaron  and  Moses, 
his  nephew  Abraham  and  his  kinsmen  the  two  Vickers  boys,  shortly 
after  the  robbery  ;  that  he  borrowed  a  small  sum  of  money  from  his 
son  Moses  and  advised  them  to  leave  the  place,  as  the  robbery  of  the 
Treasury  had  made  a  great  disturbance.  This  occurred  shortly  after 
the  robbery  in  1781,  the  confessions  were  made  Aug.  7,  1782  and  on 
the  25th  of  Sept.,  1783,  Joseph,  who  had  gone  to  seek  his  son  Mahlon, 
was  arrested  and  placed  in  the  jail  at  Bedford,  Pa.  On  the  confession 
of  the  Vickers  boys,  he  was  denounced  as  a  participator  in  the  rob- 
bery after  the  fact,  also  of  harboring  and  comforting  his  own  sons, 
and  a  reward  was  offered  for  his  arrest. 

The  procedure  at  that  time,  in  cases  where  parties  were  charged  with 
offences  and  had  not  been  arrested,  was  for  the  sheriff  to  proclaim 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  129 

the  fact  by  public  outcry  at  the  Court-house  door,  and  command  the 
alleged  offender  to  appear  before  the  Court  at  that  or  the  next  term, 
in  default  of  which  he  was  proclaimed  an  outlaw  and  liable  to  be  at- 
tainted as  a  traitor.  It  is  reasonable  to  suppose  that  Joseph  on  his 
farm  in  Plumstead,  or  as  a  carpenter  in  places  even  more  remote,  and 
feeling  entirely  innocent  of  any  wrongdoing,  did  not  hear  of  the 
proclamation  against  him  from  the  Court-house  steps  twenty  miles 
distant. 

It  is  a  well  settled  tradition  among  the  descendants  of  his  friends 
in  Plumstead  that,  for  several  mouths  during  the  summer  of  1783,  he 
was  erecting  buildings  in  Northampton  Co. ;  that,  on  returning  to  his 
home  early  in  September  he  found  his  property  confiscated,  his  home 
desolate,  his  family  destitute,  his  sons  fugitives  and  himself  an  out- 
law ;  that,  learning  of  the  place  where  his  son  Mahlon  was  abiding,  he 
journeyed  thither  and  was  arrested  and  confined  in  the  jail  at  Bedford, 
as  before  stated.  His  arrest  was  made  Sept.  25,  1783,  by  one  Joseph 
"Wilson,  and  his  son  Mahlon  was  arrested  on  the  29th  by  one  John 
Sallamon  and  lodged  in  the  same  prison  with  his  father. 

The  Archives  of  the  State  show  that  on  Oct.  9,  1783,  the  Supreme 
Executive  Council  directed  the  Sheriff  of  Bedford  County  to  convey 
the  said  prisoners  under  an  armed  guard  to  the  jail  at  Lancaster.  The 
transfer  however  appears  not  to  have  been  accomplished,  as  tradition 
relates  that  they  escaped  from  the  prison,  and  that  before  leaving 
they  released  all  the  prisoners  save  one,  who  was  guilty  of  robbing  a 
woman. 

It  also  appears  from  the  Colonial  records  that,  later  in  1783, 
Joseph  Doan,  Sen.,  was  again  arrested  and  lodged  in  prison  at  New- 
town, and  at  the  March  term  of  Court  the  next  year,  he  was  tried 
and  convicted  of  the  heinous  crime  of  harboring  and  comforting  his 
own  children,  who  at  a  later  date  were  charged  with  having  partici- 
pated in  the  robbery  of  the  Public  Treasury  at  Newtown.  For  his 
offence  he  was  sentenced  to  be  burned  in  the  hand  and  to  suffer  six 
mouths  imprisonment.  Joseph,  however,  survived  his  sentence  and 
afterwards  lived  in  Plumstead  in  comparative  poverty.  The  late 
Nathan  Preston,  a  resident  of  that  town  from  infancy,  remembered 
and  described  Joseph  Doan  as  a  hale  and  venerable  old  man,  an  habit- 
ual attendant  on  the  Meetings  of  Friends,  that  he  was  poor  and  made 
a  scanty  living  by  erecting  post  and  rail  fences  for  the  farmers.  The 
latest  account  of  him  in  Bucks  Co.  is  had  from  the  minutes  of  the 
Meeting  at  Buckingham  of  date  1799,9,2,  when  Hester  Doan  and  her 
9 


130  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

husband,  Joseph,  applied  for  a  certificate  to  remove  to  Canada,  where 
their  sons  Aaron  and  Joseph  were  then  living.  The  certificate  was 
granted  and  a  contribution  was  made  by  their  sympathizing  friends. 
Later  accounts  show  that  Joseph  and  his  wife  arrived  safe  in  Can- 
ada, where  they  sojourned  with  their  children  many  years,  dying  at 
the  home  of  their  son  Joseph,  Jr. 

Whatever  may  have  been  the  offences  of  Joseph  Doan  and  his  sons 
prior  to  the  treaty  of  recognition  of  American  Independence,  by  the 
British  Government,  those  offences  were  all  condoned  and  immunity 
from  any  consequence  thereof  provided  and  agreed  upon  by  the  two 
contracting  parties,  both  in  the  preliminary  treaty  of  Nov.  30,  1782, 
and  by  ratification  of  the  same,  done  by  the  American  Congress  Sept. 
3,  1783.  The  following  is  a  copy  of  so  much  of  the  treaty  as  per- 
tains to  the  subject : 

There  shall  be  no  future  confiscations  made,  nor  any  prosecutions  com- 
menced against  any  person  or  persons  for  or  by  reason  of  the  part  which 
he  or  they  may  have  taken  in  the  present  war,  aud  that  no  person  shall  on 
that  account  suffer  any  future  loss  or  damage  either  in  person,  liberty  or 
property,  and  that  those  who  may  be  in  confinement  on  such  charges  at  the 
time  of  the  ratification  of  the  Treaty  in  America,  shall  be  immediately  set 
at  liberty,  and  the  prosecutions  so  commenced  discontinued. 

And  yet,  eight  days  after  the  ratification  of  this  Treaty  by  the 
American  Congress  in  Philadelphia,  the  Supreme  Executive  Council 
of  Pennsylvania,  assembled  within  sound  of  the  voices  that  confirmed 
the  Treaty,  sent  forth  their  edict  that  despoiled  Joseph  Doan  of  his 
home,  and  turned  his  family  upon  the  charities  of  the  world,  and  still 
later  seared  him  with  the  hot  brand  of  Felony,  and  incarcerated  him 
in  a  filthy  prison  for  offences  charged  as  committed  during  the  war, 
and  for  which  the  nation  in  accepting  the  terms  of  its  Independence 
contracted  to  grant  him  amnesty  and  entire  immunity  on  account 
thereof.

97  ELIJAH5  DOANE  (Israel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was 
born,  probably,  in  Plumstead,  Pa. ;  but,  as  in  the  case  of  his  brothers 
and  sisters,  there  is  no  public  record  of  his  birth.  He  married  Sarah 
Groves.  Of  Mr.  Doane's  early  life  we  know  nothing  except  that  the 
will  of  his  father,  made  in  1787,  names  a  grandson  Samuel,  son  of 
his  son  Elijah,  deceased.  From  various  sources,  particularly  from 
his  descendants,  it  is  learned  that  Mr.  Doane  settled  near  Trenton, 
N.  J.,  and  from  them  we  have  the  names  of  the  eight  children. 

Children : 

Samuel,6  b. . 

232  Jonathan,6  b.  1765,3,16. 

233  Benjamin,6  b.  1770,11,12. 

Elijah,6  b.  1773;  married  and  settled  in  Ontario  about  1789, 
After  the  death  of  his  wife,  he  removed  to  Berwick,  Pa., 
where  he  died  at  an  advanced  age.  He  had  no  children  and 
his  last  years  were  spent  near,  and  in  communication  with 
his  brothers  Benjamin  and  Joseph  and  sister  Elizabeth. 

Joseph,6  b. ;  m.  Mary  Conner  and  lived  for  a  time  near 

his  brother  Benjamin  in  Berwick,  Pa.,  but  finally  settled 
near  Jeromeville,  O.,  abt.  1830.  He  had  a  son  and  a  daugh- 
ter both  living  in  1885. 

Israel,6  b, ;   in  early  life  removed  to  Canada  with  his 

brothers  and  settled  in  the  Niagara  district.

98  ISRAEL5  DOANE  (Israel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was 
born  in  Plumstead,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.  In  early  manhood  he  married 
Rachel  Vickers,  the  daughter  of  Abraham  and  Mary  (France)  Vickers, 
and  probably  a  sister  of  Hester  Vickers  who  married  his  brother 
Joseph  Doane,  thus  increasing  the  interest  between  the  two  brothers, 
and  strengthening  the  ties  between  the  Doane  and  Vickers  families. 
Like  his  brother  Joseph,  Mr.  Doane  was  a  Friend  by  birth,  antecedents 
aud  education,  and,  like  him,  he  met  with  the  difficulties  that  arose 
from  adherence  to  the  faith  of  his  fathers  and  the  sect  of  which  he 
was  a  consistent  member  and  with  whose  doctrines  and  principles  he 
lived  in  unity.  Israel  Doane  did  not  possess  the  strong,  vigorous, 
athletic  constitution  of  most  of  the  Doanes,  consequently  he  was  less 
prominent  than  hi3  brother.  After  his  marriage  he  was  a  tenant  of 
his  father's  house  and  was  in  use  of  his  father's  farm.  It  is  believed 
that  the  death  of  his  mother  occurred  about  1780,  and  that  after  this 
event  Israel  took  charge  of  the  farm,  and  that  his  father  made  his 


132  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

home  with  him.  The  Plumstead  tax-list  for  1781  shows  that  the 
father  was  taxed  for  lands  only,  while  the  son  was  rated  as  house- 
holder and  taxed  for  farm  stock.  Israel,  the  father,  was  then  eighty- 
three  years  old  and  doubtless  had  retired  from  business  and  active 
life.  Israel  and  Rachel  were  the  parents  of  Abraham  Doane,  another 
of  the  famous  band  of  "  Doane  Brothers "  of  the  Revolutionary 
"War.  With  his  cousins,  sons  of  his  uncle  Joseph  Doane  (96),  Abra- 
ham was  involved  in  the  political  troubles  of  the  times  and  in  conse- 
quence of  this  association  Israel  himself  became  a  victim  of  the 
circumstances  of  his  son.  Like  his  brother  Joseph,  he  was  charged 
with  harboring  and  aiding  his  son  and  nephews,  after  the  robbery  of 
the  Newtown  treasury,  on  the  night  of  Oct.  22,  1781.  We  have  no 
record  of  his  arrest  but  infer  that  it  occurred  at  his  home  in  Plum- 
stead.  He  was  placed  in  the  jail  at  Newtown  and  in  the  beginning 
of  August,  1782,  was  tried  and  sentenced  to  six  months  imprison- 
ment, for  the  offence  of  harboring  and  sheltering  his  own  son  and 
others  whilst  they  were  under  the  ban  of  the  law.  In  the  month  of 
February,  1783,  after  expiration  of  his  sentence,  he  petitioned  the 
Supreme  Executive  Council  for  his  release,  as  follows : 

To  the  President  and  Members  of  the  Supreme  Executive  Council  of  the 

State  of  Pennsylvania. 
The  humble  Petition  of  Israel  Doan  of  the  County  of  Bucks  —  Sheweth. 

That  your  Petitioner  a  languishing  prisoner  in  Newtown  Gaol,  has  been 
confined  ever  since  the  beginning  of  August  last,  and  his  family  being  in  a 
suffering  condition,  none  but  women  and  children  at  home  capable  of  pro- 
viding for  them.  There  has  been  much  sickness  in  his  family  since  his  con- 
finement, one  of  his  daughters  being  subject  to  very  bad  Fitts  from  her 
infancy  and  himself  often  unwell  in  his  confinement  being  a  weakly  person, 
and  pretty  much  in  years,  and  almost  twenty  miles  from  home  and  being  in 
low  circumstances  and  very  difficult  for  his  family  to  support  him 

Your  Petitioner  therefore  humbly  prays  that  you  would  take  his  distressed 
condition  into  your  consideration,  and  release  him  from  confinement,  and 
forgive  him  the  fine  which  the  court  has  sentenced  him  to  pay,  as  he  is 
not  able  to  pay  it 

And  your  petitioner  shall  ever  pray 

Israel  Doan 

When  sentence  was  passed  upon  me  I  understood  that  my  imprisonment 
was  to  be  but  6  months,  but  now  the  Gaoler  says  it  is  six  months  more, 
which  I  find  myself  unable  to  go  through  being  often  unwell. 

Indorsed  1783  Feb.  26 

This  petition  was  brought  before  the  Supreme  Executive  Council 
Feb.  26,  1783,  and  after  consideration,  dismissed.     No  further  efforts

were  made  in  Israel's  behalf,  and  doubtless  he  died  in  prison.  His 
father,  who  was  then  a  widower  and  eighty-four  years  old,  sold  his 
farm  in  the  latter  part  of  that  year  and  went  to  live  with  his  daughter 
Rachel  Liepper  who  resided  near  by.  Israel's  wife  Rachel,  survived 
him  many  years.  Her  name  appears  on  a  petition  for  the  pardon  of 
her  son  Abraham  and  nephew  Levi,  Aug.  13,  1788.  She  died  about 
1821,  at  the  home  of  her  daughter  Rachel  Burgess  who  then  resided 
at  Fallsington.  Into  whose  care  the  children  passed  is  not  known, 
but  from  their  becoming  widely  scattered  it  is  inferred  that  Israel  and 
Thomas  were  put  to  trades,  and  that  the  girls  worked  in  the  families 
of  the  neighbors.

1761,  Mr.  Doane  purchased  a  tract  of  two  hundred  acres  of  land  in 
Upper  Makefield,  later  known  as  Jericho  Hill.  He  was  a  farmer  and 
resided  at  Jericho  Hill  all  his  life  and  was  an  honest,  peaceable  man, 
a  good  neighbor  and  respected  citizen.  It  is  thought  that  his  wife

Dec.  25,  1768,  Ann  Doane,  born  in  Boston,  Sept.  8,  1744  and  died  at

after  the  surrender  of  that  stronghold  in  1745.*  He  was  a  prominent 
man  in  Wellfleet  and  in  Barnstable  County  ;  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  ; 
a  Colonel  of  militia;  Precinct  treasurer  from  1760  to  1762;  district 
clerk  and  treasurer  from  1763  to  1773;  a  Representative  to  the 
General  Court  from  1766  to  1768,  1781  and  1782  ;  a  selectman  from 
1763  to  1771.  He  was  a  Massachusetts  Senator  for  a  number  of 
years,  and  it  was  said  commanded  more  respect,  aud  exerted  greater 
influence  in  that  body  than  any  other  member.  He  was  largely  en- 
gaged in  the  whale  fishery  in  his  early  life,  but  later  was  occupied  in 
other  affairs  and  spent  the  most  of  his  time  in  Boston.  He  accumu- 
lated a  large  fortune,  estimated  at  £100,000.  In  DwigMs  Travels  it 
is  said  :  "  Col.  Doane  of  Wellfleet,  and  Thomas  Boyleston  of  Boston 
were  estimated  by  their  fellow  citizeus  the  two  richest  men  in  the 
Province  of  Mass.  Bay." 

At  Wellfleet  he  lived  in  as  much  style  as  the  situation  and  times 
could  afford.  He  was  famous  for  his  hospitality  and  entertained 
freely.  There  was  no  tavern  in  the  town  and  when  any  stranger  of 
standing  and  respectability  visited  the  place,  he  was  at  once  invited 
to  become  the  guest  of  Colonel  Doane,  and  the  family  papers  contain 
many  amusing  accounts  of  the  length  of  time  which  some  of  the 
guests  found  pleasurable,  but  with  which  the  family  were  quite  con- 
tent. Among  his  wedding  presents  to  his  wife  was  a  coach,  the  first 
one  ever  seen  in  Wellfleet.  It  could  be  used  there  but  little,  how- 
ever, on  account  of  the  poor  roads,  which  were  hardly  up  to  that 
class  of  carriages.  The  latter  part  of  his  life  Colonel  Doane  resided 
chiefly  iu  Boston,  where  he  was  engaged  in  commerce,  and  where  he 
had  a  handsome  house  and  delighted  in  receiving  and  entertaining 
hi3  friends.  He  was  a  man  of  great  charm  of  manner,  it  was  said, 
but  of  strong  character  and  the  strictest  integrity.  His  remains  were 
placed  in  the  Doane  Tomb,  No.  12,  under  Kings  Chapel,  corner  of 

*Houord  fr.  Louisbourg,  Mar.  20,  1746 

I  am  Informed  byCapt.  Doane  that  your  Honor  Requires  from  me  something  in  writing 
Relating  to  his  Son  having  an  Ensign  Commission  in  his  Company,  all  I  know  of  the  affair 
Capt.  Doan's  Company  is  the  largest  in  this  Regiment  and  I  always  understood  until  of 
Late  that  his  son  had  an  Ensign  Commission  before  he  came  away  from  N.  England,  but  as 
I  understand  it  Gouvnour  Sherley  was  here  when  Capt.  Doan  came  from  N.  England  and 
att  Capt.  Doan's  arrival  here  Gouvnour  Sherley  left  this  place  by  reason  of  which  and 
Capt.  Doan's  sickness  I  understand  there  was  no  Commission  granted.  Notwithstanding 
he  hath  acted  In  that  Capacity  ever  sence  and  I  think  ought  to  be  Intitled  to  the  wages  of 
a  commission  from  your  Honor  If  you  think  proper.

Tremont  and  School  streets,  Boston.  His  first  wife,  Hope,  was  bur- 
ied in  the  Duck  Creek  burial-ground  at  Wellfleet.  She  was  a  "gentle 
woman,  universally  respected,  whose  death  was  lamented  by  all,  es- 
pecially by  the  poor,  to  whom  she  was  a  great  friend." 

His  widow,  Ann,  married  second,  May  11,  1784,  David  Stoddard 
Greenough,  born  July  31,  1752,  son  of  Thomas  and  Sarah  (Stoddard) 
Greenough,  of  Boston.  After  the  War  of  Independence  they  moved 
to  Jamaica  Plain,  then  a  suburb  of  Boston.  The  house  in  which 
they  lived  is  still  occupied  by  their  descendants,  and  is  one  of  the 
few  surviving  historic  landmarks  of  that  period.  It  was  built  in  1760 
by  Commodore  Loring,  then  the  chief  of  the  British  forces  in  Massa- 
chusetts, and  during  the  siege  of  Boston  was  occupied  by  General 
Greene  as  his  headquarters.  The  only  child  of  David  Stoddard  and 
Ann  Doane  Greenough  was  David  Stoddard  Greenough,  Jr.,  born  in 
1787,  who  married  Maria  Foster  Doane,  daughter  of  Elisha  and  Jane

John1)  was  born  in  that  part  of  Eastham,  now  Wellfleet,  about  1730 
and  died  there  Mar.  28,  1808,  aged  78  years.  He  married  first,  Oct. 
25,  1750,  Elizabeth5  Crowell,  who  died  at  Wellfleet,  Mass.,  July  2, 
1799,  aged  74  years,  the  dau.  of  Paul4  Crowell  of  Chatham,  Mass. 
(John,3  John,2  John1).  Married  second,  Nov.  28, 1799,  Sarah  Cahoon 
who  died,  at  Wellfleet,  June  16,  1854,  aged  87  years.  Mr.  Doane 
was  a  wealthy  citizen  of  Wellfleet ;  a  deacon  of  the  church  ;  a  man 
of  wide  influence  and  occupied  important  positions  within  the  gift  of 
his  townsmen.  He  was  a  Representative  to  the  General  Court  three 
years ;  a  selectman  five  years  and  town  clerk  four  years.  He  was 
largely  engaged  in  the  whale  fishery,  and  before  the  Revolutionary 
War  owned  sixteen  sail  of  vessels.  According  to  the  History  of 
Eastham,,  he  belonged  to  a  crew  called  the  "Seed  Corn  Gang  of 
Whalers ;"  the  others  were  his  brother  Col.  Elisha  Doane  (103), 
Joseph  Higgins  and  Capt.  Winslow  Lewis.  These  men  generally  were 
of  the  same  crew,  and  were  the  most  expert  whalemen  of  the  town. 

Hezekiah  Doane's  name  appears  in  a  list  of  men  returned  by 
Winslow  Lewis,  chairman  of  selectmen  and  committee  of  Wellfleet, 
Sept.  8,  1778,  as  drafted  to  serve  in  the  Continental  Army  for  the 
town  of  Wellfleet,  and  who  paid  fines  in  lien  of  service  ;  said  Doane 
reported  as  the  father  of  Paul  Doane. 

He  was  buried  in  the  Duck  Creek  burial-ground  at  Wellfleet,  where 
a  stone  with  this  inscription  marks  his  grave  :

Would'st  thou  be  honored  in  life  and 

lamented  in  death,   go  and  do  likewise 

Will  of  Hezekiah  Doane. 

In  the  name  of  God  Amen.  The  9th  day  of  Oct.  1797  I,  Hezekiah  Doane 
of  Wellfleet  in  the  County  of  Barnstable,  being  of  advanced  age  but  of  per- 
fect mind  and  memory,  do  make  and  ordain  this  my  last  Will  and  Testament. 
That  is  to  say  principally  and  first  of  all  I  give  and  recommend  my  soul  into 
the  hands  of  God  that  gave  it,  and  my  body  I  recommend  to  the  earth  to  be 
buried  in  decent  manner  at  the  discretion  of  my  Executor  hereinafter  named 
in  good  hope  of  a  joyful  reserection  through  the  merits  of  my  Savior  Jesus 
Christ.  And  as  to  my  worldly  estate  wherewith  it  has  pleased  God  to  bless 
me  in  this  life,  I  give  devise  and  dispose  of  as  follows  : 

Imprimis.  I  give  and  bequeath  to  my  beloved  wife  Elizabeth  the  im- 
provement of  all  my  real  and  personal  estate  during  her  natural  life,  after 
all  my  just  debts  and  Funeral  charges  have  been  paid.  Then  I  give  and  be- 
queath to  my  grandson  Hezekiah  Jr.  son  to  my  late  son  Hezekiah  Doane  one 
quarter  of  a  full  share  out  of  my  estate  after  the  decease  of  my  wife  Eliza- 
beth, Real  and  Personal.  I  give  and  bequeath  to  my  grandson  Henry  Doane, 
son  to  my  late  son  Henry  Doane  one  quarter  of  a  full  share  of  my  Real  and 
Personal  estate  after  the  decease  of  my  wife.  Howbeit  if  so  be  that  either 
of  my  grandsons  Hezekiah  or  Henry  should  die  without  issue,  lawfully  be- 
gotten, then  that  part  or  share  they  or  either  of  them  was  to  have,  shall  be 
divided  between  my  two  sons  Joseph  Doane  and  Elisha  Doane. 

Item.  I  give  to  the  children  of  my  daughter  Elizabeth  Harding,  deceased, 
one  half  of  a  full  share  to  be  divided  and  distributed  among  them  after  the 
decease  of  my  wife.  Then  I  give  to  my  son-in-law,  Solomon  Harding,  six- 
teen dollars  and  sixty-four  cents,  to  be  paid  after  the  decease  of  my  wife. 
Then  I  give  devise  and  bequeath  to  my  two  surviving  sons  Joseph  Doane 
and  Elisha  Doane  their  heirs  and  assigns  forever  as  tenants  in  common,  and 
not  as  joint  tenants,  to  be  equally  divided  between  them  the  residue  and  re- 
mainder of  my  estate  both  Real  and  Personal  after  the  decease  of  my  wife. 
Finally,  I  do  constitute  and  appoint  my  son  Elisha  Doane  sole  executor  to 
this  my  last  will  and  testament,  disallowing  all  others  and  ratifying  and 
confirming  this  and  no  other  to  be  my  last  will  and  testament.  Signed, 
Sealed  and  Published,  Pronounced  and  declared  by  the  Testator  to  be  his 

last  will  and  Testament.

108  THOMAS5  DOANE  (Thomas,4  Thomas,3  Ephraim,2  John1) 
was  born  at  Chatham,  Mass.,  Mar.,  1737  and  died  at  Barrington, 
Nova  Scotia,  May  3,  1783  (gravestone,  old  burial-ground,  Barring- 
ton  Head).  He  married  first,  at  Chatham,  Oct.  4,  1759,  Letitia 
Eldredge,  who  died  at  Barrington,  July  26,  1766,  aged  30  years 
(gravestone,  old  burial-ground,  Barrington  Head) .  Married  second, 
at  Eastham,  Mar.  17,  1768,  Elizabeth  Lewis,  who  died  at  Barring- 
ton, Dec.  4,  1816  (buried  on  Sheroes  Island),  widow  of  Solomon 
Lewis  of  Eastham  and  daughter  of  William  and  Elizabeth  (Osborn) 
Myrick. 

On  his  father's  death  in  1747,  Thomas  Doane  was  one  of  five  minor 
orphan  children,  who,  with  their  mother,  Sarah,  came  under  the  pro- 
tection of  their  grandfather,  Thomas  Doane,  1st,  one  of  the  wealth- 
iest citizens  of  Chatham.  The  generosity,  both  by  deed  and  devise, 
with  which  the  old  gentleman  discharged  this  responsibility,  gave 
some  dissatisfaction  to  other  members  of  the  family,  leading  ulti- 
mately to  a  contest  (unsuccessful)  of  his  will. 

At  an  early  age  young  Thomas  began  to  follow  the  cod-fishing, 
then  the  chief  source  of  wealth  of  his  native  place,  and  in  which  in- 
dustry Chatham  led  all  the  New  England  towns.  The  La  Have, 
Quireau,  and  other  banks  lying  off  the  coast  of  Nova  Scotia,  were 
then,  as  now,  valuable  and  favorite  places  for  fishing ;  and  from 
Canseau  to  Cape  Sable,  into  dozens  of  safe  snug  harbors  the  little 
Yankee  crafts  were  accustomed  to  run  for  shelter  from  the  storm, 
or  to  cure  their  fish.  At  the  same  time  it  behooved  them  to  keep  a 
good  anchor-watch  and  look  out  for  night  attacks  from  the  French 
and  Indians. 

So  at  least  it  was  with  the  vessel  in  which  our  present  subject, 
when  a  lad  of  fifteen,  found  himself,  as  she  lay  at  anchor  one  night 
in  Barrington  Harbor — called  Le  Passage  by  the  French — near  Cape 
Sable.  Wakened  by  a  curious  sound,  he  discovered  a  party  of  In- 
dians in  canoes  preparing  to  attack.     Armed  with  a  fish-gaff,  and 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  145 

giving  a  yell  to  wake  his  companions,  he  rushed  to  the  stern  and  suc- 
ceeded in  hooking  one  Indian  under  the  chin.  The  others  paddled 
off  in  the  darkness,  and  before  the  men  could  get  from  their  bunks 
to  the  lad's  assistance,  his  "  catch  "  wriggled  off  the  hook  into  the 
water  and  disappeared.  Not  so  fortunate  had  been  the  fate  of  sev- 
eral other  vessels  in  the  same  place,  their  bones  long  afterwards 
washing  out  of  the  western  flat  of  Barrington  Harbor,  giving  the  only 
clew  to  their  mysterious  disappearance. 

The  hostility  existing  between  the  Acadian  French  and  the  New 
England  colonists  made  the  latter  willing  recruits  to  the  militia  regi- 
ments which  played  such  an  important  part  in  the  "  Half  Century  of 
Conflict "  which  ended  in  the  loss  to  France  of  her  North  American 
dominions.  Accordingly,  it  is  not  surprising  to  find  Thomas  Doane, 
before  he  was  of  age,  enlisting — and  later,  re-enlisting — in  Capt. 
Peter  West's  Co.,  on  an  expedition  to  Nova  Scotia  against  the 
French.  In  1756,  Captain  Preble  destroyed  the  French  settlements 
around  Barrington  and  carried  away  the  "habitants  ;"  and  New  Eng- 
enders, mostly  from  Cape  Cod,  rapidly  moved  in  and  occupied  their 
lands,  the  township  of  Barringtown  (which  includes  the  famous  Fort 
de  la  Tour)  being  laid  out  among  eighty-four  heads  of  families,  one 
of  whom  was  Thomas  Doane.  It  would  be  interesting  to  know  how 
many  of  these  original  proprietors  actually  assisted  in  the  removal  of 
the  French  from  that  neighborhood. 

"  October  4,  1759,  the  Marriage  Covenant  was  solemnized  betwixt 
Thomas  Doane  and  Lettice  Eldridge,  both  of  Chatham,  before  the 
Rev".  Mr.  Stephen  Emery,  Minister  of  the  Gospel,  at  Chatham" 
(Chat.  Town  Rec).  In  1764,  he  removed  with  his  wife  to  Barring- 
ton, N.  S.,  and  built  his  house  on  an  island  which  had  been  the  home 
of  a  Frenchman  named  Chereau.  It  is  still  known  as  Sheroes  Island. 
His  wife,  Lettice,  having  died  in  1766,  Thomas  Doane  married  in 
1768,  at  Eastham,  Mass.,  the  widow  Elizabeth  Lewis  (born  Myrick).

Book  of  Marriages:  Thomas  Doane  a  resident  of  Chatham  and  Eliza- 
beth Lewis  of  Eastham  were  married  by  Rev.  Joseph  Crocker,  March 
17, 1768."]  This  lady's  mother  was  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  the  Rev. 
Samuel  Osbom  (an  account  of  whom  will  be  found  in  its  appropriate 
place  in  this  book),  and  was  at  this  time,  by  her  third  marriage,  the 
wife  of  Edmund  Doane  (35),  also  one  of  the  Barrington  grantees. 
About  this  time  came  on  the  troubles  between  England  and  her 
10 


146  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

American  colonies,  which  culminated  in  the  Revolution.  The  Bar- 
rington  settlers,  offspring,  as  they  were,  of  Massachusetts — bone  of 
her  bone,  and  flesh  of  her  flesh — naturally  sided  with  their  fathers 
and  brothers  in  the  Old  Colony  against  the  English.  Those  who 
could,  returned  and  fought  for  liberty.  For  example,  the  minister  at 
Barrington,  Rev.  Samuel  Wood  (an  ancestor  of  the  contributor  of 
this  sketch)  joined  the  Continental  Army  as  chaplain,  was  taken 
prisoner,  and  died  in  New  York  on  the  prison-ship  Asia.  Others, 
who  had  all  their  living  invested  in  the  new  settlement,  remained  to 
protect  their  property  and  families  in  this  isolated  place,  and  were 
preyed  upon  both  by  the  British  and  undiscriminating  American  pri- 
vateers. Among  such  sufferers  was  Thomas  Doane,  whose  word  and 
work  during  this  trying  period  were  looked  to  and  depended  upon 
and  appreciated  by  the  harrassed  community,  and  whose  hard  losing 
struggle  came  to  an  end  by  his  death  at  the  age  of  forty-six,  on  May 
3,  1783.  On  the  day  of  his  funeral,  the  friends  assembled  at  the 
grave  in  the  old  Meeting  House  burying- ground  at  Barrington  Head, 
saw  the  fleet  of  transports,  with  disbanded  soldiers  and  refugees  from 
New  York,  pass  the  mouth  of  the  harbor  on  the  way  to  settle  Shel- 
burne.

110  EDWARD5  DOANE  (Ebenezer,4  Ebenezer,3  Ephraim,2 
John1)  was  born,  probably,  at  Cape  Elizabeth,  Me.,  about  1741  and 
died  there  after  1817.  He  married  first,  Apr.  3(orOct.  21),  1762,  Anna 
Westcott.  Married  second,  at  Cape  Elizabeth,  Nov.  21,  1766,  Sarah 
McDougle,  who  died  at  Durham,  Me.,  about  1817.  Mr.  Doane  was 
a  farmer  and  lived  on  Cape  Elizabeth,  in  that  section  known  as  Long 
Creek  and  near  the  Long  Creek  bridge.  On  Sept.  10,  1810,  he  deeded 
his  farm  at  Cape  Elizabeth  to  his  son  Charles,  for  the  care  and  sup- 
port of  himself  and  wife,  during  their  declining  years.  In  the  sum- 
mer of  1817  they  visited  their  son,  Richard,  at  Durham,  where  his 
wife,  Sarah,  died.  She  was  buried  there  in  the  Trufant  burial-ground, 
about  one-half  mile  from  their  son's  farm.  After  her  death  he  again 
sought  his  old  home  at  Cape  Elizabeth,  but  lived  only  a  few  days 
after  his  return. 

Edward  Doane  was  in  Captain  Skillings  Co.,  against  the  Indians 
and  was  a  soldier  in  the  French  and  in  the  Revolutionary  wars. 
He  was  a  private  in  Capt.  John  Libbie's  Co.,  Col.  Jedediah 
Preble's  Regt.,  from  Apr.  8  to  Nov.  18,  probably,  1758;  wages 
£1.1 68  per  month.  His  name  appears  on  a  Billeting  Roll,  sworn  to 
at  Boston,  Feb.  12,  1759  and  rendered  by  Josiah  Smith  of  Weston,

1860. 

Joseph  Proud  Doane  was  christened  Proud  after  his  godfather,  a 
Captain  Proud  of  the  Royal  Navy,  but  disliking  the  name  he  was 
known  only  as  Joseph  Doane.  Through  the  influence  of  his  father's 
friends,  he  obtained  the  position  of  Auditor  of  the  corporation  of 
Bedford  Level,  which  gave  him  official  rooms  in  the  Temple.  Later 
in  life  he  was  connected  with  the  public  press. 

They  lived  at  New  Inn  Buildings,  Strand,  London,  near  to  St. 
Clement's  church,  where  the  children  were  christened.  His  widow 
lived  there  many  years  after  his  death,  and  had  a  pew  in  that  church, 
but  later  removed  to  23  Keppel  street,  Russell  Square,  London,  where 
she  died.  She  was  buried  with  her  sons  in  Broughton  cemetery. 
Fine  oil  portraits  of  Joseph  Doane,  of  his  wife  and  of  his  sons 
Richard,  Charles  and  Joseph,  are  in  possession  of  the  family  at  the

117   EDWARD6  DOANE    (Noah,5    Solomon,4   Samuel,3   John,2 
John1)  was  born  on  Cape  Cod,  Dec.  25,  1770  and  died  at  Monterey, 
township  of  Orange,  New  York,  July  14,  1845.    He  married  at  Well- 
fleet,  Mass.,  Jan.  17,  1797,  Sarah  Brown,  born  at  Wellfleet,  July  6, 
1773  and  died  at  Monterey,  Mar.  28,  1860.     Mr.  Doane  was  a  mar- 
iner, and  for  many  years  followed  the  sea,  in  command  of  merchant 
vessels,  sailing  to  all  the  principal  ports  of  the  world.  In  March,  1797, 
he  moved,  with  his  father,  from  the  Cape  to  a  farm  in  that  part  of 
Petersham,  set  off  in  1801,  as  the   town  of  Dana.     His  family  in- 
creasing, and  his  father  being  well  advanced  in  years,  Captain  Doane 
retired  from  the  sea,  and,  on  Mar.  16,  1808,  bought  his  father's  farm 
at  Dana.     On  Apr.  15,   1816,  he  sold  out  and  bought  a  dairy  and 
stock  farm  of  one  hundred  and  seventy  acres,  about  three  quarters 
of  a  mile  south  of  the  middle  of  the  town  of  Petersham.     After  his 
sons  had  grown  to  manhood,  and  left  home,  he  sold  his  Petersham 
farm,  and  bought  a  small  place  near  the  middle  of  the  town.     About 
June  1,  1838,  he  again  sold  out,  and  with  his  wife  went  to  live  with 
their  son  Rufus  in  Monterey,  N.  Y.     They  lived  in  Dana  nineteen 
years,  nine  months  and  twenty-three  days,  and  in  Petersham  twenty- 
one  years,  and  three  months.    He  died  of  a  cancer  on  the  left  side  of 
his  face.    They  were  buried  in  the  Monterey  cemetery.     He  was  in- 
dustrious and  persevering  ;  as  a  father,  severe  in  the  discipline  of  his 
children,  and  in  Dana  and  Petersham  he  was  regarded  as  a  man  firm 
in  principles  of  right  and  justice  in  all  business  transactions.     His 
wife  Sarah  was  a  notable  helpmeet  and  housewife,  careful  and  tidy 
in  the  extreme,  anxious  and  watchful  over  the  welfare  of  her  children, 
hurrying  from  one  duty  to  another  from  early  morning  till  late  at 
night.     The  children  were  taught  habits  of  strict  order  and  industry, 
each  member  helping  to  earn  the  family  living  as  far  as  capable  almost

count of  illness.  He  never  lost  his  interest,  however,  in 
literary  pursuits  and  scientific  investigations.  A  man  of 
intelligence  and  good  judgment,  his  opinions  were  ever 
sought  by  his  fellow-citizens.  He  held  offices  of  honor  and 
trust,  but  always  refused  them  when  he  could  conveniently 
do  so.  A  beautiful  monument  marks  his  grave  and  those

There  he  obtained  a  thorough  business  training,  and  after 
five  years  went  to  New  York  where  he.  was  a  partner  in  the 
firm  of  Lee,  Case  &  Co.  and  Wm.  H.  Lee  &  Co.,  having 
charge  of  the  foreign  business  of  the  house.  Retiring  from

dent. Mr.  Dorman  has  never  engaged  in  public  life,  but 
has  devoted  much  of  his  time,  and  a  generous  share  of  his 
wealth  to  the  cause  of  charity  and  education.  A  Senior 
Warden  of  the  Church  of  the  Heavenly  Rest,  and  of  the

5.  Rialdo,  b.  Sept.  27,  1835.  When  about  five  years  old  he 
met  with  an  accident  which  resulted  in  the  breaking  of  his 
left  leg,  but  the  slight  lameness  which  was  noticeable  all 


160  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

his  life  was  caused  by  the  straining  of  this  limb  in  jumping, 
while  still  weak  from  an  attack  of  measles.  At  the  age  of 
sixteen  he  was  sent  to  the  Suffleld  Academy  where  he  re- 
mained nearly  two  years.  He  then  entered  the  employ  of  a 
dry  goods  firm  in  Hartford  where  he  remained  but  a  short 
time  before  going  to  New  York.  There  he  entered  the  real 
estate  business.  During  the  war  of  the  Rebellion  he  was  in- 
terested with  Jocelyn  &  Co.,  Brokers,  and  had  a  seat  on  the 
Stock  Exchange.  Dec.  28,  1864,  he  married  Emily  Eliza 
daughter  of  Wm.  H.  and  Eliza  (Saltmarsh)  Overton  of 
Athens,  Pa.  He  took  his  bride  to  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  where 
he  lived  until  1883.  In  1877,  he  sold  his  seat  in  Wall  St., 
and  gave  his  attention  to  the  Jasepora  Ware  Co.  in  which 
he  had  a  controlling  interest.  In  1883,  he  sold  this  business 
and  went  to  Chicago,  where  he  was  engaged  in  real  estate 
until  he  died  May  23,  1894,  survived  by  his  wife  and  three 
daughters,  Daisy  Julianna,  Anna  Orline,  and  Leta  Hartley. 
The  death  of  his  son,  Rialclo  Latimer,  at  the  age  of  18  mos. 
nearly  unsettled  his  reason,  and  never  again  was  he  the 
bright,  talented  and  lovable  man  he  always  had  been.  In 
character,  he  was  one  whose  genial  humor  and  cultured 
manners  won  for  him  the  love  and  respect  of  all  whom  he 
chose  to  charm.  His  friends  were  legion,  and  he  possessed 
the  rare  quality  of  keeping  those  whom  he  won.  6.  Orlin,

John1)  was  born  at  Eastham,  Mass.,  about  1758  and  died  at  Hamp- 
den, Penobscot  Co.,  Me.,  June  22,  1842.  He  married,  first  (pub- 
lished at  Brookfield,  Mass.,  May  18,  1782),  Mary  Myrick  of  Eastham. 
Married,  second,  Abigail  Libby.  Mr.  Doane  went  from  Cape  Cod  to 
Maine  about  1788.  In  early  life  he  was  a  mariner,  but  in  later  days 
was  a  farmer.  He  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier  and  drew  a  pension 
for  his  military  service.* 

In  Hampden  the  23rd  of  June  (1842)  Amos  Doane  in  the  85th  year  of  his 
age.  A  soldier  of  the  Revolution  at  the  call  of  his  country,  he  with  a  num- 
ber of  others  from  Eastham,  Mass.,  entered  the  service  under  Captain  (after- 
wards Colonel)  Webb,  and  joined  the  American  Army  commanded  by  Gates 
called  to  arrest  the  progress  of  General  Burgoyne  on  the  Hudson  and  was 
in  that  hard  fought  battle  of  Sept.  19,  1776,  iu  which  the  British  lost  500 
men  and  the  Americans,  320.  On  the  7th  of  Oct.,  the  two  armies  met,  and 
on  the  16th  he  had  the  pleasure  to  see  Burgoyne  surrender  to  General  Gates. 

*  July  7, 1835,  Amos  Doane  of  Hampden,  Me.,  applied  for  state  bounty  and  certified  that 
he  was  77  years  old  and  had  resided  in  Hampden  47  years,  previous  to  which  he  was  an 
inhabitant  of  Eastham.    His  application  for  pension,  in  1818,  was  as  follows : 

"  I,  Amos  Doane  of  Hampden  in  the  County  of  Penobscot,  yeoman,  aged  60  do  hereby 
testify  and  say  that  on  or  about  the  month  of  Apr.,  1777, 1  enlisted  into  the  Revolutionary 
war  in  Capt.  Geo.  Webb's  Co.,  and  Colonel  Shepard's  Regt.,  and  Glover's  brig.,  Mass.  line 
for  the  term  of  9  mos.  We  joined  our  Regt.,  at  Peekskill  and  went  to  Albany  and  Fort 
Edward.  I  was  at  the  capture  of  Burgoyne.  We  went  into  winter  quarters  at  Valley 
Forge  where  I  was  regularly  discharged  on  or  about  the  10th  day  of  Jan.,  1778.  Imme- 
diately after  this  I  enlisted  again  for  9  mos.  in  the  same  Co.  and  Regt.  I  continued  about 
3  mos.  at  Valley  Forge,  sick  of  a  fever  and  the  smallpox.  Then  we  marched  to  Provi- 
dence, R.  I.,  at  which  place  I  received  a  regular  discharge  sometime  in  Oct.,  according  to 
the  best  of  my  recollection.  In  the  month  of  Apr.,  1779,  I  shipped  on  board  an  armed 
vessel  in  the  service  of  the  government  for  1  year  at  $8  per  mo.  I  think  the  name  of  the 
vessel  was  either  the  Eagle  or  the  Resolution,  Capt.  Elijah  Paine,  Com.  We  captured 
3  British  ships,  1  brig  and  1  schooner.  I  was  regularly  discharged  at  Boston.  I  have  lost 
my  discharges." 

Geo.  Webb  of  Holden,  Mass.,  testified  being  old  and  infirm,  but  according  to  his  best 
recollection  Amos  Doane  enlisted  in  his  Co.  and  served  under  him  9  mos.  as  a  good 
soldier. 


172  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

He  served  under  Washington  on  the  Hudson  and  in  New  Jersey.  At  the 
close  of  the  war  he  came  to  the  then  wilderness  of  Penobscot  and  took  up 
a  lot  of  land  in  its  original  state  near  Hampden  Corners,  where  he  lived  un- 
til the  day  of  his  death.  In  1783,  he  experienced  religion,  under  the  labors 
of  Eev.  Joshua  Hall,  and  joined  the  Methodist  church  of  which  he  has  been 
a  worthy  member.  He  was  a  kind  neighbor  and  a  good  citizen  and  died, 
as  he  had  lived,  in  full  expectation  of  a  blessed  immortality  beyond  the  grave.

168  TIMOTHY6  DOANE  (Seth,5  Joseph,4  Joseph,3  Daniel,2 
John1)  was  born  at  Middle  Haddam,  Conn.,  Nov.  8, 1759  and  died  in 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  Nov.  14,  1828.  He  married  Apr.  19,  1783,  by  Rev. 
Benjamin  Boardman,  Mary  Carey,  who  was  born  on  Long  Island, 
N.  Y.,  Feb.  2,  1763  and  died  Nov.  2,  1848.  His  will  proved  Mar.  16, 
1829,  is  on  record  at  the  Cuyahoga  Co.,  Ohio,  probate  court.  Mr. 
Doane  moved  with  his  family  from  Chatham,  Conn.,  to  Herkimer 
Co.,  N.  Y.,  about  1794  and,  during  the  winter  of  1798,  returned  on  a 
visit  to  his  Connecticut  home.  In  April,  1801,  he  arrived  with 
his  family  in  Cleveland,  and  in  the  following  fall  settled  in  Euclid. 
His  son,  Seth,  preceded  him  in  company  with  his  uncle  Nathan- 
iel. Before  going  to  Cleveland,  Mr.  Doane  had  commanded  a 
vessel  on  salt  water.  On  one  of  his  trips,  perhaps  the  last  one,  he 
brought  with  him  from  Cuba,  a  deaf  and  dumb  negro  boy,  who  at  the 
time  seemed  to  be  a  burden  to  those  with  whom  he  was  living.  He 
was  commonly  called  "Um"  and  went  with  Mr.  Doane  to  Ohio  where 
he  lived  in  the  Doane  family  many  years  until  his  death.    Mr.  Doane 


186  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

was  elected  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  while  a  resident  of  Euclid,  and  in 
1810,  became  one  of  the  Associate  Judges  of  the  county.  The  name 
Doane  was  often  wrongly  pronounced  among  the  early  settlers  in  and 
about  Cleveland,  and  Mr.  Doane  thought  to  obtain  a  more  correct 
and  general  pronunciation  of  the  name  by  omitting  the  last  letter, 
making  it  Doan.  Two  of  his  sons,  Seth  and  Timothy,  adopted  the 
same  method  of  spelling,  while  his  other  son  John,  kept  to  the  old 
way.  Thus  it  is  that  the  descendants  of  the  brothers  Seth  and  Tim- 
othy write  their  name  Doan  while  those  of  John  add  an  e,  after  the 
original  manner.  (See  letter  of  Timothy  Doane  Crocker  in  Annals 
of  the  Early  Settlers'  Association,  Cleveland,  1881,  No.  2,  p.  69.)

Hampshire  to  Cleveland,  O.,  late  in  the  year  1797.  He  was 
a  carpenter  and  builder.  At  an  early  day  he  took  quite  a 
tract  of  land  in  payment  for  building  a  barn  for  Governor 
Hutchinson.  Dodge  street  now  extends  through  a  portion 
of  this  land.  The  land  greatly  increased  in  value,  a  part  of 
which  is  still  held  by  Mr.  Dodge's  descendants.  Mr.  Dodge 
took  high  rank  as  an  intelligent  man  and  a  good  citizen.

two  children,  Gen.  Henry  H.  and  George  C.  Dodge.  Ch. :  1.

the  age  of  twenty  he  began  the  study  of  law,  and,  in  1834, 
was  admitted  to  the  Bar  of  the  county.  He  was  a  commis- 
sioner of  insolvency,  and  state  engineer  in  charge  of  public 
works  for  many  years.  He  was  closely  associated  with  the 
history  and  progress  of  Cleveland,  and  his  character  all 
through  his  public  and  private  life  was  one  of  honor  and 
integrity.  He  was  benevolent  and  open-hearted,  and  during 
the  war  he  spent  his  money  freely  in  the  cause  of  his  coun- 
try. 2.  George  C,  b.  July  9,  18—;  d.  June  6, 1883 ;  m.  Apr.

169  NATHANIELS  DOANE  (Seth,5  Joseph,4  Joseph,3  Daniel,2

in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  Nov.  29,  1815.  He  married  Sarah  Adams,  who 
was  bom  1771  and  died  Mar.  4,  1853.  His  will,  dated  Nov.  7,  1815, 
was  probated  Mar.,  1816.  His  sons,  Seth  and  Job  Doane,  were  the 
executors.  He  first  went  to  Cleveland  in  1796.  He  moved  his  family 
there  from  Chatham,  Conn.,  in  1798,  and  built  a  home  on  Superior 
street  immediately  opposite  Bank  street,  but  his  family  were  so 
afflicted  with  fever  and  ague,  that  he  moved  eastward  and  settled  in 
what  was  afterward  known  as  Euclid  township,  now  a  part  of  Cleve- 
land. The  immediate  locality  in  which  he  lived  was  called  "  Doane's 
Corners  "  for  full  eighty  years  thereafter,  and  the  stream  of  water 
uear  by  running  through  Wade  Park  took  the  name  of  "  Doane's 
Creek,"  and  is  still  so  called.  He  built  and  kept  a  hotel  on  the  north- 
west corner  of  Euclid  avenue  and  Fairmount  street,  and  on  the  south- 
west corner  he  built  a  small  store.  He  built  a  blacksmith  shop  and 
a  saleratus  factory,  because  they  were  needed.  He  was  postmaster 
and  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  many  years,  and  religious  services 
were  held  by  him  in  his  own  house.  On  the  organization  of  the  first 
military  company  in  Cleveland  in  1804,  he  was  elected  "  First  Lieu- 
tenant"  and  the  following  year  was  chosen  "Captain."  He  was 
town  clerk  for  some  years,  and  in  1809  became  one  of  the  Associate 
Judges  of  Cuyahoga  County.  The  Doanes  of  Cleveland  were  a  very 
influential  people,  all  of  them  well  educated.  Nathaniel  Doane's 
daughter  Delia  taught  the  first  school  iu  Euclid.

husband  at  Leona),  the  widow  of  Isaac  Ray  and  daughter  of  Isaac 
Chapman.  Mr.  Doane  was  a  farmer,  and  did  quite  a  business  in 
Connecticut  as  proprietor  of  quarries.  In  1836  he  sold  his  property 
in  Counecticut  and  moved  with  his  family  to  Bradford  Co.,  Pa.

*  I  well  remember  my  grandmother,  Hester  Doane,  as  a  grand  christian  woman.  She 
spent  her  last  years  under  my  father's  roof.  Grandfather  Doane  owned  a  quarry  iu  Ma- 
romas,  then  a  part  of  Middletown  and  a  farm  of  over  two  hundred  acres.  He  built  a  new 
and  large  bouse,  which  is  still  standing  and  was  "  well  to  do  "  for  those  days.  My  father, 
Diodate  Spencer,  returned  from  Michigan  and  bought  laud,  and  married  Mr.  Doane's 
only  daughter.  Mr.  Doane's  children  being  married,  and  fearing  they  would  leave  him, 
they  all  settled  on  going  out  into  Pennsylvania,  some  300  miles  distant,  which  they  did  in 
the  winter  of  1836-7.  Uncle  Joseph  C.  Doane  drove  the  ox  teams,  carrying  their  families 
and  possessions  on  sleds.  I  was  born  in  Springfield,  Pa.,  Mar.  26, 1837.  My  grandfather 
named  me  after  himself  Roswell  Doaue  Spencer,  and  gave  me  a  "mooley  cow,"  the  avails 
of  which  came  to  me  at  his  death.  He  was  a  Methodist  as  were  all  his  children.  He  con- 
tributed the  land  in  Leona  on  which  the  Methodist  church  now  stands—  From  Mr. 
Roswell  D.  Spencer's  letter.

farmer  with  whom  he  spent  five  years.  At  19  he  tried  sea 
life  and  went  coasting  in  the  sloop  Peacock.  One  day  while 
"  tending  gib  sheets"  in  Long  Island  Sound,  he  lost  over- 
board his  first  watch.  Tiring  of  the  sea  he  returned  to 
Connecticut,  and  worked  in  the  Maromas  and  HaddamNeck 
quarries.  Later  he  went  to  Michigan  where  land  was  cheap 
and  bought  a  tract  near  Ypsilanti;  but,  in  1835,  he  returned 
to  Connecticut,  married  and  with  his  father-in-law,  Roswell 
Doane,  and  brothers-in-law  Isaac  Phineas  and  Joseph  Chap- 
man Doane,  he  moved  to  Leona,  Pa.,  in  the  winter  of  1837. 
The  work  of  clearing  new  land  was  too  laborious,  and 
brought  on  an  illness  which  unfitted  him  for  work  for  sev- 
eral years.  Returning  to  E.  Haddam,  he  established  a  mer- 
cantile business  and  continued  there  18  years.  In  1863  he 
sold  his  property  in  Connecticut  and  went  to  Pennsylvania, 
where  he  lived  as  a  farmer  and  storekeeper.  Ch. :  1.  Ros-

he  followed  the  sea,  and  rapidly  rose  to  the  command  of 
some  of  the  finest  ships  then  afloat.  In  the  days  of  the 
gold  fever  in  California  when  speed  was  desirable,  he  made 
the  passage  from  Boston  to  San  Francisco  in  76  days,  the

Francisco,  China  and  Japan,  until  she  was  destroyed  by  fire

Capt.  Doane  then  went  to  St.  Augustine,  Fla.  They  left 
no  children.

200  ISRAEL6  DOANE  (Israel,5  Edmund,4  Israel,3  Daniel,2 
John1)  was  born  at  Barrington,  N.  S.,  June  7,  1775  and  died  at 
Little  River,  Argyle  township,  N.  S.,  June  20,  1866  (buried  on 
the  hill  at  Arcadia).  He  married,  first,  at  Barrington,  Mar.  30, 1797, 
Mehetabel  Kenuey,  who  was  born  at  Barrington,  June  26,  1778  and 
died  after  a  lingering  illness  at  Little  River,  May  8,  1847  (gravestone 
on  the  Hill  at  Arcadia),  the  daughter  of  Isaac  and  Sarah  (Godfrey) 
Kenney,  and  granddaughter  of  Heman  and  Mercy  (Nickerson) 
Kenuey  of  Chatham,  Mass.,  and  Barrington.    Married,  second,  about 

,  Mary  (Gravel)  Raynard  of  Tusket  Lakes,  widow  of  William 

Raynard  and  daughter  of  John  Gavel. 

Mr.  Doane  went  with  his  father's  family  from  Barrington  to  Little 
River  in  June,  1781,  thence  to  Roberts  Island,  Argyle  township,  in 
1792.  After  his  marriage  he  settled  on  a  portion  of  his  father's 
place,  since  called  "  Doane's  Point,"  on  Roberts  Island,  where  seven 
of  his  nine  children  were  born.  Selling  his  Argyle  property  to  Major 
McKinnon  they  removed  to  Little  River  where,  on  Mar.  4,  1816, 
"Israel  Doaue,  yeoman,  of  Argyle  for  £250  bought  of  John  and 
Hannah  Kinney  all  and  whole  of  the  one  certain  lot  of  land  situated 
in  Argyle,  on  East  side  of  Little  River  bounded  on  N.  by  lands  of 
Stephen  Larkin,  E.  by  Burnetts  Line,  and  W.  by  said  River  contain- 
ing by  estimation  170  acres,  together  with  the  dwelling  house,  barn 
and  all  the  salt  marsh  adjoining  said  lot." 

In  company  with  the  Pinkncys,  George  Owen  and  perhaps  others, 
Mr.  Doane  built,  at  Little  River,  several  small  vessels  for  the  West 
India  trade,  but  with  little  or  no  financial  success.  In  1808,  they 
owned  the  schooner  John,  32  tons  ;  in  1818,  the  brigantine  Speculator, 
110  tons;  in  1846,  the  brigantine  Evelina,  110  tons,  which  vessel, 
while  lying  at  anchor  in  Argyle  Harbor,  was  driven  ashore  in  a 
September  gale  and  became  a  total  loss. 

His  first  wife  was  the  daughter  of  Isaac  Kenney  who  was  a  mer- 
chant and  vessel  owner  at  North  East  Point,  on  Cape  Sable  Island, 
and  her  mother,  Sarah  Godfrey,  was  the  daughter  of  Gideon  Godfrey, 
a  native  of  Cape  Cod,  and  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Liverpool,  N.  S. 
His  second  wife  was  the  daughter  of  John  Gavel,  a  Dutch  Loyalist, 
who  went  from  New  York  to  Shelburne,  N.  S.,  in  1783,  thence  to  Tusket 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  205 

Lakes  in  1784  or  1785.  She  outlived  her  husband  and  spent  her  last 
years  at  the  home  of  Smith  Lent,  on  her  father's  old  homestead  at 
Tusket  Lakes,  where  she  was  born.  Sabine's  Loyalists  says  :  "  John 
Gavel  of  New  York  at  the  peace  accompanied  by  his  family  of  six 
persons,  went  from  New  York  to  Shelburne,  where  the  Crown  granted 

him  one  town  lot." 

Mr.  Doane  and  his  first  wife,  Mehetabel,  were  baptized  by  Rev. 
Enoch  Towner,  and  were  members  of  the  Argyle  Baptist  church. 
After  their  removal  to  Little  River  he  united  by  letter  Mar.  5,  1819, 
with  the  Yarmouth  First  Baptist  church  of  which  Rev.  Harris  Hard- 
ing was  then  pastor,  but  transferred  his  membership  to  the  South 
Yarmouth  church  at  Central  Chebogue  on  its  organization  in  Apr. 
1853.  His  wife  was  a  member  of  the  First  church  from  Jan.  11 
1828,  till  her  death  in  1847.  His  was  a  strongly  religious  nature. 
He  lived  and  talked  Christianity  all  the  days  of  his  long  life.  He 
loved  his  God,  his  Bible,  his  church.  His  seven  daughters  and  only 
son  were  members  of  Baptist  churches.

DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  207

412  xiii    Benjamin,7  b.  1822. 

202  SUSANNAH6  DOANE  (Israel,5  Edmund,4  Israel,3  Daniel,2 
John1)  was  born  at  Little  River,  Argyle  township,  N.  S.,  May  5, 
1782  and  died  on  Roberts  Island,  N.  S.,  June  15,  1877  (buried  old 
burial-ground  near  Baptist  church).  She  married  at  Barrington,  by 
her  uncle,  Samuel  O.  Doane,  Justice  of  the  Peace  (87),  Dec.  17,  1801, 
her  cousin,  Prince  Doane  Kenney,  who  was  born  at  Barrington,  Jan. 
13,  1780  and  died  suddenly  on  Roberts  Island  on  the  morning  of 
Nov.  27, 1863  (buried  old  burial-ground  near  Baptist  church),  the  son 
of  Hemau  and  Ruth  (Doane)  Kenney,  and  grandson  of  Edmund  Doane 
(35) .  They  settled  first  in  Barrington,  that  part  known  as  "Doctors 
Cove,"  where  all  their  children  were  born,  and  where  the  two  oldest 
died  and  were  buried.  In  Apr.,  1826,  they  moved  to  Roberts  Island 
and  settled  on  a  portion  of  her  father's  farm.  They  lived  with  her 
father's  family  until  Jan.,  1827,  when  they  moved  into  their  new 
house,  which  stood  in  the  field  a  little  south  of  the  house  now  occu- 
pied by  their  son,  James  M.  Kenney.  He  was  interested  in  the 
building  of  several  small  vessels.  For  many  years  he  was  master  of 
craft  in  the  West  India  and  coasting  trade.  It  is  claimed  that  he 
was  the  first  captain  to  sail  a  vessel  from  the  port  of  Barrington, to  the 
West  Indies.  His  old  account  books  give  evidence  that  he  kept  a 
store  of  West  India  and  other  supplies  and  was  in  trade,  to  some 
extent,  with  his  neighbors  at  Barrington. 

His  wife  was  a  member  of  the  Argyle  Baptist  church.  She  was 
immersed,  when  well  advanced  in  years,  in  the  harbor  off  Doane's 
Point,  by  Rev.  A.  W.  Barss.  She  was  deeply  interested  in  the  his- 
tory of  her  family  and  would  talk  for  hours,  of  the  recollections  of 
her  childhood. 

Children,  all  born  at  Barrington  : 

i        William,7  b.  Sept.  4,  1802 ;  d.  Dec.  29,  1814. 

ii       Clarissa,7  b.  Dec.  28,  1803;  d.  Feb.  15,  1815.

July  8,  1886;  m.  at  Argyle,  N.  S.,  Didamia  Spinney.  He 
was  a  seaman  in  early  life,  and  was  master  of  small 
coasting- vessels,  carrying  several  loads  of  coal  from  Cape 
Breton  to  New  York.  When  nine  years  old,  he  went  on  a 
fishing  voyage  with  his  father  off  Cape  Sable.  When 
eleven  years  old,  he  was  cook,   on  a  fishing  voyage  off

Labrador,  on  a  vessel  owned  by,  and  in  charge  of  his  father. 
In  Oct.,  1826,  he  sailed  from  Halifax  for  Quebec,  with  a 
cargo  of  sugar  and  was  wrecked  on  the  coast  of  Anticosti, 
and  he  and  his  crew  were  seven  days  without  food.  In 
1833,  in  carrying  out  the  anchor  of  his  vessel,  "to  heave  her 
off,"  he  was  dragged  over  the  stern  of  the  boat  and  carried 
to  the  bottom  of  the  sea  with  the  anchor,  which  struck  in 
such  a  manner  that  he  cleared  himself,  and,  by  means  of 
the  cable  climbed  to  the  surface  and  back  into  his  boat. 
In  the  latter  part  of  his  life,  he  lived  in  Woodstock,  N.  B., 
near  some  of  his  relatives.

v  Reuben  Caiioon,7  b.  July  30,  1812.  "He  went  away  to  sea 
when  eighteen  years  of  age.  For  years  after  leaving  he 
wrote  regularly  to  his  relatives,  then  a  few  years  passed 
without  any  word  from  him.  Later,  a  Capt.  Coffin  of  Bar- 
rington,  who  was  on  a  whaling  voyage,  wrote  from  some 
port  on  the  Pacific  coast,  that  Reuben  had  been  on  board  of 
his  vessel  and  stayed  over  night ;  that  he  was  an  officer  of 
a  whaling  ship,  and  then  talked  of  returning  home  to 
Argyle.     That  was  the  last  trace  of  Reuben."

Aug.  18,  1895;  m.,  about  1843,  Joseph  Whitehouse.  They 
moved  from  Argyle  to  Knowlesville  in  1861.  They  were 
members  of  the  Free  Christian  Baptist  church  and  were 
held  in  high  esteem  by  all  who  knew  them.  Their  home 
was  always  a  welcome  place  for  ministers  and  all  others 
who  loved  the  church  and  the  cause  of  Christ.

thorough  in  every  department  and  sympathetic  with  his 
pupils  in  all  their  troubles  fancied  and  real,  earnest  in  his 
efforts  for  the  rapid  advancement  of  those  under  his  charge, 
— he  was  an  ideal  teacher  and  started  many  a  young  man  on 
the  road  to  success  and  fortune.  After  many  years  of  ser- 
vice as  a  teacher  he  was  appointed  to  the  office  of  Govern- 
ment Inspector  of  Schools  for  Shelburne  Co.,  and  later  to 
the  same  position  for  the  new  inspectoral  district  compris- 
ing the  counties  of  Shelburne  and  Yarmouth. 

204  HERVEY6  DOANE  (Samuel  O.,5  Edmund,4  Israel,3 
Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  at  Barrington,  N.  S.,  Feb.  15,  1779,  and 
was  lost  at  sea  Dec.  4,  1799.  He  possessed  fine  natural  abilities. 
Specimens  of  his  penmanship,  drawings  and  composition  have  been 
preserved.  It  was  his  purpose  on  attaining  his  majority,  to  enter 
the  school  in  Boston  conducted  by  his  uncle  William  Payne ;  but,  a 
little  more  than  two  months  before  he  reached  his  twenty-first  birth- 
day he  was  lost  with  his  schooner  The  Barrington,  on  passage  from 
Shelburne  to  Barrington.  The  vessel  was  sighted  off  the  mouth  of 
Barrington  Harbor,  driving  before  a  heavy  snowstorm  and  doubtless 
she  foundered  in  the  gale.  After  Hervey  Doane's  death  several  pieces 
of  his  composition  were  sent  to  Mr.  Payne  in  Boston,  and  in  response 
the  following  lines  were  written  by  Eloise  Richards  Payne,  the  tal- 
ented sister  of  the  author  of  "  Home,  Sweet  Home  :  " 

And  hast  thou  seen  what  strikes  the  fancy  here? 
Again  these  speaking  pages  well  explore, 
Then  drop  with  me  the  heart  dissolving  tear 
The  dear,  dear  youth  that  wrote  them,  is  no  more. 

Could  Genius,  Virtue,  Harmony  and  Truth 
Secure  their  residence  from  early  fate? 
Thou  must  have  died,  O  much  lamented  youth! 
But  life  with  thee  had  borne  a  longer  date. 


*6V 


Farewell !  no  more  thy  graceful  form  we  see ; 
The  powers  of  genius  all  inactive  lie, 
'Tis  thus  the  wisest  and  the  best  shall  be, 
But  works  like  thine,  O  Hervey,  never  die.

212  DANIEL6  DOANE  (or  Thomas)  (Daniel,5  Daniel,4  Daniel,3 
Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  in  the  Northern  Liberties,  now  Philadel- 
phia, Pa.,  1760,  4,  13  and  died  in  Muskingum  Co.,  Ohio,  1829,  7, 
17.  He  married,  about  1791,  Mary  Plumley,  who  died  in  Muskingum 
Co.,  1862,  7,  2  in  the  93rd  year  of  her  age.  Mr.  Doane's  father  died 
in  Nov.,  1760,  and  his  mother  remarrying,  the  three  children  were 
placed  under  the  care  of  their  uncle,  Edward  Dyer  of  Northampton, 
Pa.  After  his  marriage  to  Mary  Plumley,  Mr.  Doane  settled  first 
in  Northampton,  where  they  lived  a  few  years,  and  where  their  first 
three  children  were  born.  About  1797  they  moved  into  Byberry 
township,  Philadelphia  Co.,  Pa.,  where  their  other  children  were 
born.  In  1817  they  removed  to  Jefferson  Co.,  Ohio,  and  thence  in 
1820  to  Muskingum  Co.,  where  they  purchased  a  farm  on  which  they 
spent  their  remaining  years.

her  nephew,  Wm.  P.  Doane,  at  Young  Hickory,  O.,  the 
105th  anniversary  of  her  birth,  and  is  doubtless  the  oldest 
living  descendant  of  Dea.  John  Doane.  She  has  lived  in 
three  centuries,  under  the  administration  of  every  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States  and  cast  her  first  vote  when  over 
one  hundred  years  old  at  a  school  election.  About  1817, 
she  moved  with  her  parents  from  Pennsylvania  to  Jefferson 
Co.,  O.  Here  she  became  engaged  to  James  King  of  Penns- 
ville,  but  upon  the  death  of  her  father  she  told  her  be- 
trothed that  she  would  not  marry  during  the  lifetime  of 
her  mother.  She  and  her  mother  removed  to  Meigs  town- 
ship, O.,  shortly  after,  where  the  mother  died.  In  1862, 
the  long  separated  lovers  again  met,  and  were  married  after 
a  betrothal  of  forty  years,  the  bride  lacking  only  a  few 
days  of  being  66  years  old.

213  DANIEL6  DOANE  (John,5  Daniel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1) 
was  born  in  Montgomery  Co.,  Pa.,  1768,  1,  5  and  died  in  Vevay, 
Ind.,  1850,  7,  22.  He  married,  at  Larrys  Creek,  Lycoming  Co., 
Pa.,  Rebecca  Fincher,  the  daughter  of  Eli  and  Rachel  (Moffett) 
Fincher.  In  early  manhood  Mr.  Doane  went  to  Larrys  Creek  and 
built  a  sawmill.  This  mill  he  afterwards  sold,  and  started  for  the 
West  in  company  with  one  Solomon  Cutler.  It  is  said  that  on  the  way 
Solomon  stole  Daniel's  money  and  left  him  penniless  on  the  road. 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  219 

From  one  of  the  sons  we  learn  that  Mr.  Doane  migrated  West- 
ward in  the  fall  of  1814,  and  settled  at  Harrison's  Landing  on  the 
Ohio  river,  but  later  removed  to  Vevay,  Ind.  It  is  claimed  by  the 
descendants,  that  Mr.  Doane  and  two  of  his  sons  were  soldiers  in 
the  War  of  1812.  The  oldest  son,  Josiah,  was  drafted.  The  second, 
Jonathan,  being  too  young  to  be  drafted,  volunteered  and,  being 
somewhat  athletic,  was  accepted.  Josiah  becoming  sick,  and  unable 
to  remain  in  service,  the  father  offered  himself  and  was  accepted  as 
his  substitute.

220  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

215  AMOS  LEE6  DOANE  (John,5  Daniel,4  Daniel^  Daniel,58 
John1)  was  born  in  the  Munsey  Settlement,  near  Larrys  Creek,  Pa., 
1780,3,  31  and  died  at  Larrys  Creek  1857,  11,  8.  He  married  first, 
1802, 11,2,  Martha  Staats,  who  died  at  Larrys  Creek  after  a  protracted 
illness,  the  daughter  of  Peter  Staats.  Married  second,  1814,  3,  24, 
Catherine  Valentine,  who  was  born  1793,  2,  2  and  died  at  Larrys 
Creek  1872,  4,  4,  the  daughter  of  Henry  and  Anna  Mary  (Peterman) 
Valentine.  Mr.  Doane  was  born  in  the  Quaker  meeting-house  of  the 
Munsey  Settlement,  where  his  mother  had  taken  refuge,  after  her 
flight  from  the  Indians  who  that  morning  had  captured  her  husband  at 
their  home  in  Larrys  Creek,  near  the  present  town  of  Williamsport, 
Pa.  He  settled  first  in  Williamsport  where  he  lived  about  fifteen 
years,  working  at  his  trade  of  blacksmithing,  after  which  he  removed 
to  Larrys  Creek.  A  few  years  after  his  second  marriage  he  became 
unsettled  in  business  and  removed  to  a  country  place  about  midway 
between  Dummertown  and  Jersey  Shore,  villages  farther  up  the  Sus- 
quehanna river.  From  there  he  removed  to  Dummertown  and  again 
to  Salem  in  Clinton  Co.,  thence  to  Nittany  Valley  and  finally  in 
1844  to  Larrys  Creek,  where  he  died.  He  was  buried  there  near  his 
home,  and,  until  a  few  years  ago,  his  grave  was  reverently  shown  to 
his  kindred,  by  his  aged  daughters,  who  spoke  in  endearing  terms  of 
their  father,  and  exhibited  with  admiration  samples  of  his  handicraft 
which,  for  beauty  of  workmanship,  are  hardly  equalled  by  the  mechan- 
ical shops  of  the  present  day.

216  ELEAZER6  DOANE  (John,5  Eleazer,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2 
John1)  was  born  at  Haycock  township,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  1742, 12, 10 
and  died  at  Plumstead,  Pa.,  in  1811.  He  married,  about  1769,  Mary 
Kinse}-,  who  was  born  1752,  12,  8  and  died  at  Plumstead,  1837,  9, 
aged  84  years  11  months,  the  daughter  of  Jonathan  and  Jemima 
(Heston)  Kinsey,  of  Buckingham.  Both  he  and  his  wife  were  mem- 
bers of  the  Society  of  Friends  at  Buckingham,  but  to  avoid  the 
publicity  of  marriage  before  the  Meeting  they  were  married  privately. 
For  this  they  were  called  to  account  by  the  Elders  and,  after  making 
respectful  acknowledgments,  were  restored  to  membership  at  the 
Meeting  held  5  mo.  1771.  Mr.  Doane  settled  first  in  Haycock 
township,  where  he  lived  until  1788,  when  he  purchased  the  property 
known  as  the  old  Price  Tavern  in  Plumstead,  to  which  he  removed 
and  kept  an  Inn  until  his  death.  In  Apr.,  1811,  Mary  and  Jonathan 
Doane,  widow  and  son  of  Eleazer  Doane,  deceased,  applied  for  and 
obtained  an  order  of  court  to  sell  the  Inn  and  forty  acres  of  land,  and 
under  this  order  the  farm  and  tavern  at  Plumstead  were  sold  to 
Philip  Nice.  By  reason  of  assertions  in  the  confessions  of  Jesse  and 
Solomon  Vickers,  Eleazer  Doane  was  brought  under  the  bah  of  sus- 
picion, and  charged  with  complicity  with  the  Doane  brothers  in  their 
raids  upon  tax  collectors.  He  was  indicted  and  tried  Mar.  3,  1784 
for  inciting  his  kinsman,  Moses  Doane  (227)  to  rob  Nicholas  Grover, 
and  for  receiving  and  harboring  him  and  George  Sinclair  after  the 
said  robbery  was  committed,  but  the  evidence  not  being  sufficient  to 
satisfy  the  jury,  he  was  acquitted.

North  West  Territory,  Scioto  River,  mouth  of  Salt  Creek." 

This  6th  Day  of  Nov.  1801. 

Respected  Brother: 

I  take  this  opportunity  to  inform  thee  that  we  are  in  middling 
state  of  health  at  present  only  Jonathan  and  he  has  been  sick  about  one  week,  and  we 
are  in  hopes  that  these  may  find  you  all  well.  I  have  not  much  to  write  unto  thee  that  is 
of  interest.  I  received  thy  letter.  It  was  some  satisfaction  to  hear  that  you  were  mostly 
well.  But  thee  signifies  that  thee  is  not  settled,  and  signifies  that  the  country  is  so  diffi- 
cult and  that  thee  can  not  advise  us  to  come  or  where  to  come  to.  I  still  am  in  the  notion 
of  going  to  those  parts.  If  I  was  easily  discouraged  by  the  accounts  that  I  have  had 
from  there  I  might  have  been  entirely  out  of  the  uotion,  for  I  have  heard  that  the 
bottom-land  has  become  very  droughty  and  hard,  breaks  up  very  cloddy  and  that  your 
cows  die  by  great  numbers  and  I  have  heard  that  thee  has  a  notion  of  coming  back.  I 
could  hardly  give  credit  to  it  but  thee  gives  me  such  a  short  account  in  thy  letter  I  don't 
know  what  to  think  of  it.  But  Robert  Carter  informs  me  that  thee  likes  the  Miami 
country  pretty  well.    But  by  the  account  thee  sent  we  did  not  know  whether  thee  liked

sold  his  southern  plantation  and  moved  his  family  to  Clinton  Co., 
Ohio,  arriving  1804,  11,4.  There  he  purchased  two  hundred  and 
thirty-eight  acres  of  land  on  Todd's  Fork,  at  one  dollar  and  a  half 
per  acre,  and  built  the  first  brick  house  in  the  county.  He  donated 
the  lands  for  the  public  buildings  of  Wilmington  in  1810,  and  by  his 
energetic  spirit  of  enterprise,  developed  the  resources  of  the  new 
country,  and  increased  the  prosperity  of  himself  and  family,  until 
its  members  were  recognized  as  the  leading  spirits  of  Clinton  county. 

He  was  a  county  commissioner  from  1810  to  1818  ;  he  donated  the 
two  lots  upon  which  the  schoolhouse  at  Wilmington  was  built  and 
employed  the  first  teacher,  Isaac  Garretson.  He  was  one  of  the  com- 
mittee employed  to  build  the  first  Court  House  and,  in  1836,  two 
years  before  his  death,  he  is  on  record  as  security  for  the  man  build- 
ing the  new  Court  House  and  jail.  The  old  Wilmington  records 
speak  of  Mr.  Doane  as  "a  man  of  genial  presence  who  enjoyed  life.'' 
Both  he  and  his  wife  were  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends  all 
their  lives,  and  their  first  ten  children  are  recorded  on  the  register  of 
the  Cane  Creek  Monthly  Meeting.

it  or  not.  I  expected  that  thee  would  have  sent  me  a  full  account  of  it.  I  have  heard 
that  thee  has  missed  many  good  bargains  in  laud  waiting  for  me.  But  I  want  thee  to 
suit  thyself  and  not  wait  for  me  for  I  don't  know  when  I  shall  come,  for  I  have  not  sold 
as  yet  and  I  don't  know  whether  I  can  sell  or  not,  for  there  is  a  great  narration  of  the 
proprietor  coming  in  for  hi6  land  which  would  discourage  some  from  buying.  But  I  am 
not  scared  yet  and  don't  think  there  is  any  danger.  I  want  thee  to  settle  thyself  where 
thee  thinks  it  will  be  a  good  settlement  so  I  may  have  a  good  place  to  come  to.  For  let 
thee  settle  where  thee  will  in  those  parts  I  shall  come  to  thee  before  I  purchase  and 
likely  we  may  be  neighbors  again.  Robert  Carter  told  me  that  there  was  a  tract  of  land 
on  the  Little  Miami  of  about  thirteen  hundred  acres,  good  land  and  well  watered,  lies 
well,  and  that  thee  thinks  if  I  would  come  out  and  join  thee  we  could  buy  it,  but  not  let 
us  bid  too  high  at  first  for  $2600  is  a  great  sum.  So  no  more  about  that.  Our  erop  of 
corn  is  very  light.  Our  wheat  is  good.  Flax  is  very  short,  for  we  have  had  a  dry  sum- 
mer. Our  creek  mills  are  almost  stopped,  so  that  some  of  us  have  been  obliged  to  go  to 
the  river  mills.  I  have  had  the  ague  and  John,  William  and  Jesse  have  had  it  middling 
bad,  but  we  have  all  got  well  So  no  more  at  present,  only  we  remember  our  love  to  you 
all  and  would  be  glad  if  thee  would  write  to  us  by  every  opportunity  to  inform  me  of 
the  account  that  I  have  signified  to  thee.

Blount  counties,  Teun.  In  the  autumn  of  1815  they  removed  to  Paoli, 
Orange  Co.,  Ind.,  and  in  1820,  to  White  Lick,  Ind.  A  principal 
cause  of  his  removal  from  the  South  was  his  hatred  of  human  slavery, 
a  sentiment  which  has  been  fully  shared  by  all  his  descendants.  He 
and  his  wife  were  both  buried  in  the  Friends  cemetery  at  White  Lick.

224  JOHN6  DOANE  (Ebenezer,5  Joseph,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2 
John1)  was  born  in  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  1768,  10,  3  and  died  near  Onta- 
rio, Canada,  1852,  11,  8.  He  married  1794,  10, 15,  Elizabeth  Stock- 
dale,  the  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Elizabeth  (Smith)  Stockdale.  He 
and  his  brother  Ebenezer  (226)  learned  the  carpenter's  trade,  serving 
an  apprenticeship  of  seven  years  each,  with  their  oldest  brother  Jon- 
athan (221).  They  all  were  skilful  workmen.  John  Doane  became 
a  master  builder  and  carried  on  an  extensive  business  in  Bucks 
county. 

From  John  Doane's  granddaughter  : 

"  I  well  remember  my  grandfather.  He  distinctly  remembered  the  battle  of 
Trenton  Dec.  26,  1776.  He  also  remembered  the  excitements  attendant  upon 
the  news  of  the  battle  of  Princeton  and  Germantown.  He  remembered  see- 
ing Washington's  army  encamped  for  a  day  and  night  upon  the  farm  adja- 
cent to  that  upon  which  his  parents  were  living.  At  a  proper  age  he  was 
placed  as  an  apprentice  to  learn  the  trade  of  a  carpenter  with  his  eldest 
brother,  Jonathan,  the  same  who  became  the  father  of  the  late  Bishop  George 
W.  Doane  of  New  Jersey.  This  trade  then  included  the  skill  of  a  joiner  or 
as  it  is  now  termed  cabinet  maker.  He  often  spoke  of  having  assisted  in  the

erection  of  buildings  in  Philadelphia  as  well  as  in  the  country.  He  subse- 
quently purchased  a  farm  on  the  Delaware  River  in  Bucks  Co.,  where  he 
carried  on  farming  in  addition  to  carpentering.  I  remember  hearing  him 
speak  of  having  to  cross  the  Delaware  to  New  Jersey  with  his  hearse  to  at- 
tend some  funerals.  He  married  1794,  10,  15,  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Joseph 
and  Elizabeth  (Smith)  Stockdale,  by  whom  there  were  four  children  born  in 
Bucks  Co.,  one  of  whom,  Sarah,  died  there.  He  with  his  family  removed 
in  1807  to  Canada,  travelling  across  the  country  in  canvas-covered  wagons. 
They  were  about  six  weeks  on  the  journey,  and  arrived  at  their  destination 
June  1,  1807.  There  they  purchased  a  tract  of  200  acres  known  as  Lot  94  on 
Yonge  street,  King  township,  York  Co.,  for  which  they  paid  $8  per  acre.  It 
is  situated  about  28  miles  north  of  Toronto.  At  an  early  date  they  exhibited 
their  fealty  to  the  Society  of  Friends,  as  shown  by  this  extract  from  records 
of  the  Meeting  at  Yonge  street,  June  18,  1807.  "  John  Doan  with  Elizabeth 
his  wife  and  three  minor  children,  presented  their  certificates  from  the 
Meeting  of  Friends  at  Buckingham,  Pa.,  bearing  date  6th  of  4th  mo.  1807, 
which  was  read  and  accepted. 

"  I  well  remember  my  grandfather's  description  of  the  first  dwelling  they 
occupied  in  Canada.  It  was  what  was  known  as  shed  roof,  covered  with 
split  basswood  logs.  When  their  effects  were  placed  in  order  so  as  to  save 
all  the  space  possible  there  was  only  one  square  yard  of  floor  unoccupied. 
In  1807,  the  Friends  in  that  locality  built  a  frame  meeting-house.  The  mem- 
bers gave  material  and  subscribed  $16,  and  John  Doan  was  appointed  general 
supervisor.  The  first  Lombardy  poplar  tree,  now  so  numerous  in  this  re- 
gion, was  a  branch  cut  from  a  tree  in  Bucks  Co.  and  used  as  a  cane  by  John 
Doan  in  his  journey  to  Canada.  He  planted  it  there  on  Yonge  St.,  and  to 
the  surprise  of  everyone  it  budded  and  grew  to  a  large  tree.  To  that  cane 
Canada  is  indebted  for  all  her  Lombardy  poplars,  so  greatly  admired. 
At  the  first  township  meeting  of  King,  Mar.  6,  1809,  John  Doan  was 
elected  Pound  Keeper.  In  a  return  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  county,  Mar.  28, 
1809,  there  were  thirty-three  heads  of  families.  Five  of  them  were  Doans, 
consisting  of  John  Doan  and  his  three  brothers,  William,  Mahlon,  Ebenezer 
and  their  father,  Ebenezer,  who  was  son  of  Joseph  and  Mary  of  Wrightstown, 
Pa.,  he  who  was  celebrated  in  the  '  walking  purchase'  of  Bucks  Co.  Dur- 
ing the  war  of  1812  John  Doan  adhered  strictly  to  the  Quaker  principle  of 
peace.  At  that  time  produce  rose  to  an  extravagant  price,  so  that  it  was 
almost  out  of  reach  of  the  poor.  I  have  been  told  by  the  early  settlers,  that 
John  Doan  was  never  known  to  sell  a  bushel  of  grain  or  produce  of  any 
kind  at  the  high  prices  occasioned  by  war,  but  always  at  the  price-rate  before 
the  war  commenced.  One  incident  relating  to  the  subject,  and  in  which  he 
was  an  actor,  is  here  related.  An  English  officer  hearing  that  Mr.  Doan  had 
a  quantity  of  flour  iu  store  came  to  him  and  said,  '  Mr.  Doan,  I  hear  you 
have  a  large  quantity  of  flour  for  sale,  if  so,  I  will  purchase  all  you  have  at 
the  highest  market  price.'  The  reply  was,  'has  thee  got  the  money  to  pay 
for  it  ?'  '  Why  certainly,  or  I  would  not  have  the  face  to  make  you  the 
offer.'  '  Well,'  rejoined  Mr.  Doan,  '  if  thee  has  got  the  money  to  pay  for 
it,  thee  may  go  somewhere  else  to  buy,  I  keep  my  flour  to  sell  to  them  who 
cannot  afford  to  pay  the  war  prices.' 


230  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

"  Two  of  John  Doan's  sons  took  an  active  part  in  the  McKenzie  Rebellion 
of  1838.  We  have,  in  our  possession,  boxes,  rings  and  other  trinkets  made 
by  them  with  pocket-knives  from  pieces  of  stove  wood,  during  their  im- 
prisonment. These  we  show  with  considerable  pride,  as  pieces  of  work- 
manship done  by  members  of  our  family  in  a  confinement  arising  from  a 
fruitless  struggle  for  individual  rights  in  the  cause  of  liberty."

he  returned  to  Bucks  county  and  in  May,  1808,  in  company  with  his 
father,  brothers  and  sister  moved  from  Bucks  Co.  to  Canada,  carrying 
all  their  effects  in  a  four-horse  wagon.  After  a  toilsome  journey  of 
six  weeks  they  reached  their  destination,  and  settled  on  Lot  96,  about 
twenty-two  miles  North  of  Toronto.  In  1818,  5th  mo.  he  removed 
to  Gwillingbury  and  settled  on  Lot  13  where  they  resided  until  his 
death.

227  MOSES6  DOANE  (Joseph,5  Israel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1) 
was  born  at  Plumstead,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  about  1752,  and  was  shot 
and  instantly  killed,  by  Robert  Gibson,  at  Halsey's  tavern  in  Plum- 
stead,  Sept.  1,  1783.  He  married  Rachel  Tomlinson,  who  was  born 
1759,  5,  20,  the  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Margaret  (Cook)  Tomlinson. 
He  was  probably  the  eldest  of  the  children  of  Joseph  and  Hester 
(Vickers)  Doane.  He  with  his  brothers  Joseph  (228),  Aaron  (229), 
Levi  (230)  and  Mahlon  (231),  and  their  cousin  Abraham  Doane  (234) 
son  of  their  uncle  Israel,  formed  that  band  known  in  the  Revolution- 
ary history  of  Bucks  Co.  as  the  "  Tory  Doans."  A  leader  by  nature, 
and  probably  possessing  greater  natural  abilities  than  any  of  the 
otbers,  Moses  was  the  master  spirit  of  them  all,  and  always  appeared 
as  the  captain  of  the  band.  He  was  engaged  in  several  of  the  acts 
of  reprisal,  prominent  and  first  among  which  was  the  raid  on  the 
night  of  Oct.  22,  1781,  upon  the   county  treasury  at  Newtown*  of 

*  The  robbery  of  the  county  treasury  by  the  Doans  and  their  confederates,  In  the  fall 
of  1781,  was  one  of  the  exciting  events  of  the  day.  John  Hart,  then  treasurer,  lived  in  the 
house  that  lately  belonged  to  AbramBond  in  the  lower  part  of  the  village  (Newtown). 


232  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

which  John  Hart  was  the  custodian.  Jesse  Vickers  in  his  confession 
says  that  Moses  Doane  was  present  at  the  robbery  of  the  treasury, 
and  also  names  him  as  having  been  connected  with  many  of  the  irreg- 
ularities that  occurred  about  that  time.  On  the  30th  of  June,  1783, 
Moses  is  named  in  the  proclamation  offering  a  reward  for  the  arrest 
of  persons  charged  with  robbing  collectors  during  the  preceding 
month.  He  is  again  named  in  the  proclamation  of  July  26,  1783, 
when  an  hundred  pounds  specie  is  again  offered  for  the  arrest  of  these 
offenders. 

On  the  occasion  of  Moses'  death  it  appears  that  he,  with  Abraham 
and  Levi  Doane  with  others  of  the  party,  forced  by  hunger  from  their 
cave  on  the  Tohickon,  ventured  to  the  cabin  of  a  confederate  named 
Halsey,  at  G-allows  Run  in  Plumstead.  The  family  needing  some 
flour,  sent  a  boy  to  the  mill  near  by,  who  innocently  informed  the 
miller  that  the^Doanes  were  at  the  cabin.  The  miller  went  to  a  vendue 
near  by  and  informed  the  people  of  the  presence  of  the  Doanes  at 
Halsey's.  About  fourteen  volunteered  under  the  lead  of  Colonel  Hart 
and  Major  Kennedy  for  their  capture.  They  surrounded  the  cabin. 
Hart,  Kennedy  and  Grier  were  selected  to  enter  and,  upon  approach- 
ing it,  saw  the  Doanes  through  the  chinks  in  the  logs,  eating  at  a 
table,  with  their  guns  standing  near.  Hart  opened  the  door  and  com- 
manded them  to  surrender,  when  the  Doanes  seized  their  arms  and 

Early  in  the  evening  Moses  Doan  rode  through  the  Town  to  see  if  the  situation  was 
favorable,  and  about  ten  o'clock  the  house  of  the  treasurer  was  surrounded  and  Mr.  Hart 
made  prisoner.  While  sentinels  kept  watch  outside  and  over  the  treasurer,  others  of  the 
gang  ransacked  the  house.  Then  obtaining  the  keys  of  the  treasurer's  office,  and  one  of 
them  putting  on  Mr.  Hart's  hat,  and  carrying  his  lighted  lantern  as  was  the  treasurer's 
wont,  the  robbers  went  to  the  office  where  they  stole  all  the  public  money  to  be  found. 
They  got  in  all  £735,17.19£  in  specie  and  £1307  in  paper.  That  night  they  divided  the 
spoils  at  the  Wrightstown  schoolhouse :  —  Davis'  History  of  Bucks  County. 

The  Doans  of  Bucks  Co.,  near  Doylestown,  were  also  the  terror  of  their  day.  They  were 
quite  as  famous  in  that  section  of  country  and  about  the  Philadelphia  lines  as  any  hero  of 
the  Revolution.  Their  father  was  a  man  of  good  estate,  and  he  and  his  children  of  good 
reputation.  When  the  war  came  on  they  proposed  to  remain  neutral,  but  because  of 
their  non-attendance  on  militia  drafts  and  refusing  to  pay  fines,  they  had  their  property 
sold  occasionally  and  themselves  harassed.  They  got  inflamed  with  their  neighbors  and 
Revolutionary  rulers  and  as  they  found  themselves  subjected  to  legal  imposts  and  pen- 
alties, Ave  brothers  of  them  set  out  to  live  in  highways  and  hedges  and  wage  a  predatory 
and  retaliatory  war  upon  their  persecutors.  They  were  men  of  fine  figures  and  address, 
elegant  horsemen,  great  runners  and  leapers  and  excellent  at  stratagem  and  escapes. 
They  delighted  to  injure  public  property,  but  did  no  injury  to  the  weak,  the  poor  or  the 
peaceful.  They  were  in  league  with  the  British  while  in  Philadelphia  and  acted  as  occa- 
sional spies.  They  became  of  so  much  importance  as  to  have  £300  apiece  set  on  their 
heads.  They  went  generally  on  horseback,  sometimes  separate,  sometimes  together  with 
accomplices.  Once  with  twenty-five  mounted  men  they  robbed  John  Hart,  the  treasurer 
of  Bucks  Co.,  of  all  the  public  money.  Some  of  them  were  occasionally  apprehended  but 
as  often  broke  jail. —  Watson's  Annals  of  Philadelphia  and  Pennsylvania  in  the  Olden 
Time.

struck  Kennedy  in  the  back  giving  him  a  mortal  wound.  Hart  seized 
Moses  Doane,  threw  him  down  and  bound  him,  when  Robert  Gibson 
rushing  into  the  cabin  shot  Doane  in  the  breast,  killing  him  instantly. 
It  is  said  that  Gibson  was  not  voluntarily  one  of  the  party,  but  was 
suspected  of  being  implicated  with  the  Doanes  in  their  illgotteu  gains, 
and  it  is  supposed  he  shot  Moses  to  close  his  mouth  against  the  utter- 
ance of  testimony  against  himself. 

During  the  melee  Abraham  and  Levi  Doane  escaped  through  a 
window  at  the  back  of  the  cabin.  The  wife  of  Halsey  was  at  that 
side,  and  Abraham  fearing  that  in  his  effort  to  get  away  he  would  be 
discovered  and  fired  upon,  ran  up  to  the  frightened  woman,  caught 
hold  of  her  clothing,  placed  himself  in  front  of  her  and  raised  her 
on  his  back.  With  this  strange  shield  over  his  person,  he  started  on 
a  run  to  reach  his  horse.  He  effected  his  purpose  in  safety,  although 
within  range  of  the  rifles  of  Hart's  party,  who  were  prevented  from 
firing  for  fear  of  injuring  the  woman. 

The  body  of  Moses  was  carried  to  the  Hart  tavern  and  thrown 
down  on  the  kitchen  floor.  In  the  morning  it  was  sent  to  his  grand- 
father Israel  Doane  (40)  in  Plumstead,  who  buried  it  in  a  secluded 
spot  on  his  farm,  where  the  mound  and  small  stones  marking  his 
grave  were  still  visible  only  a  few  years  ago.  That  was  a  sorrowful 
funeral.  It  is  related  that  Moses'  little  dog  came  running  forward 
and  looked  down  into  the  grave  after  the  coffin  had  been  lowered, 
whining  most  piteously  as  if  holding  a  last  farewell  with  his  master.

228  JOSEPH6  DOANE  (Joseph,5  Israel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2 
John1)  was  born  at  Plumstead,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  1752,  4,  1  and  died 
at  Walpole,  Haldimand  Co.,  Ontario,  Canada,  in  1844.  He  married  his 
cousin  Mary  Doane,  daughter  of  his  uncle  Israel  (98)  about  1780. 
She  was  born  probably  at  Plumstead,  1766,  7,  27  and  died  at  her 
daughter  Mary  Waggoner's  in  Walpole  about  1850.  She  had  be- 
come blind  through  cancer  on  her  face,  though  the  immediate  cause 
of  her  death  was  a  fall  over  a  chair.  Joseph  Doane  acquired  an 
education  above  that  of  the  average  young  man  of  his  time,  and 
taught  the  school  of  his  neighborhood.  He  was  one  of  the  band  of 
"  Tory  Doans  "  and  his  name  appears  in  the  Proclamation  of  Sept. 
13,  1783.    In  Day's  Historical  Collections  of  Pennsylvania  it  is  stated 


234  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

that  Squire  Shaw  was  attacked,  robbed  and  brutally  treated  by  the 
Doaues.  For  this  offence  the  neighbors  organized  and  the  raiding 
party  were  pursued  and  overtaken  near  the  Skippack  Creek  in  Mont- 
gomery Co.,  where  a  skirmish  took  place,  in  which  Joseph,  the  school- 
master, was  shot  through  the  cheek,  captured*  and  lodged  in  jail  in 
Newtown,  the  county  seat.  From  Shallus  Tables  of  Chronological 
Events,  published  in  1819,  we  learn  that  on  the  30th  of  March,  1784, 
Joseph  was  arraigned  for  trial  before  the  court  at  Newtown,  convicted 
and  sentenced  to  be  hanged.  Pending  the  execution  of  the  sen- 
tence, he  made  his  escape  from  prison  and  found  refuge  in  New 
Jersey  where,  under  an  assumed  name,  he  again  taught  school. 

The  Federal  government  had  offered  a  reward  for  him,  or  any  of 
his  brothers  dead  or  alive,  and  while  in  a  neighboring  tavern  one 
evening  Joseph  heard  a  man  say  that  he  would  shoot  any  of  the 
Doanes  on  sight  for  the  sake  of  the  reward.  Doane's  school  bills 
were  quietly  settled  and  preparations  soon  made  for  removal  to 
Canada.  Before  leaving  the  country,  however,  he  made  a  farewell 
visit  to  his  old  home  in  Bucks  Co.,  and  while  there  was  recognized 
by  a  neighbor  who  seized  and  threw  him  to  the  ground.  At  a  dis- 
advantage during  the  tussle  Joseph  managed  to  draw  a  penknife 
from  his  pocket,  which  by  aid  of  his  teeth  he  opened  and  with  it 
wounded  his  adversary  in  the  neck,  inflicting  a  wound  which  perma- 
nently affected  the  man's  speech.  Regaining  his  footing  Joseph,  like 
the  good  Samaritan,  bound  up  his  assailant's  wound  with  his  hand- 
kerchief, advised  him  to  seek  help  at  the  nearest  house,  and  then  pro- 
ceeded on  his  way  to  Canada.  On  arriving  in  Canada,  about  1790, 
he  settled  first  in  Humberstone  township,  Co.  of  Welland,  and  lived 
on  the  Lake  Shore  near  Fort  Erie.  Here  he  resumed  his  teaching  in 
which  he  prospered  and  acquired  an  excellent  reputation  among  his 

*  To  the  Honorable  His  Excellency  the  President  and  other  Members  of  the  Supreme 
Executive  Council  of  the  State  of  Pennsylvania: 

The  Petition  of  the  Subscribers,  inhabitants  of  Bucks  Co.,  humbly  sheweth  That  your 
honorable  board  was  pleased  to  issue  your  Proclamation  of  June  30,  1783,  offering  a  re- 
ward of  £100  for  each  and  every  of  the  persons  convicted  of  robbing  the  collectors  of 
Public  Taxes  in  this  State.  After  the  date  of  which  Proclamation  your  petitioners  did 
apprehend  and  secure  Joseph  Doan,  Junr.  who  now  stands  convicted  of  the  fore  men- 
tioned crime.  We  therefore  petition  that  it  might  please  your  Honors  to  grant  us  an  order 
on  the  State  Treasurer  for  obtaining  the  promised  reward  or  to  notify  us  in  what  other 
way  we  may  obtain  it.    And  your  petitioners  as  in  duty  bound  will  ever  pray. 

We  do  order  and  appoint  Col.  Robert  Robinson,  Amos  Thomas  and  Joeias  Ferguson  to 
receive  and  divide  to  each  person  their  equal  share  of  said  reward.

patrons.  About  1815,  he  removed  to  the  township  of  Walpole  about 
forty  miles  distant  from  Humberstone,  where  he  purchased  a  farm  of 
two  hundred  acres,  said  to  lie  "  in  as  pretty  a  section  as  can  be  found 
in  all  Canada."  In  early  life  in  Canada  he  was  known  as  an  out- 
spoken man,  with  an  inveterate  hatred  of  all  Americans,  who  as  a 
people,  he  said,  had  oppressed  and  persecuted  him  and  his  kindred. 
When  the  American  Army  landed  at  Fort  Erie  in  the  War  of  1812, 
Joseph  was  pointed  out  as  a  man  inimical  to  the  American  interests, 
and,  though  not  in  arms,  was  seized,  made  a  prisoner  of  war  and  sent 
to  Greenbush,  N.  Y.,  where  they  kept  him  confined  for  eighteen 
months,  and  where  through  exposure  and  hunger  he^suffered  all  but 
death. 

In  1823  Joseph  Doane  returned  on  a  visit  to  his  relatives  in  Bucks 
Co.,  and  it  is  said  with  the  purpose  of  obtaining  the  value  of  his 
father's  confiscated  farms.  No  such  suit  was  ever  instituted,  but  it 
is  understood  that  he  brought  suit  for  a  small  sum  through  Squire 
Shaw,*  whose  father  he  had  formerly  robbed,  against  an  old  Quaker 
neighbor.  The  meeting  between  the  plaintiff  and  defendant  was  an 
amusing  one.  The  conversation  on  both  sides  was  in  the  plain  lan- 
guage of  Friends,  nevertheless  they  abused  each  other  most  roundly, 
the  one,  alleging  his  authority  from  government  to  blow  the  other's 
brains  out,  or  take  him  dead  or  alive,  and  the  other,  claiming  his 
money  so  long  unjustly  delayed. 

Extract  from  Mr.  J.  S.  Kratz'  letter  : 

"  Of  the  father  Doane,  I  do  not  know  anything  save  that  he  lived  in  Plum- 
stead  adjoining  lands  to  my  grandfather's,  and  though  of  Quaker  descent,  he 

*  Extract  from  letter  from  Mr.  Walter  Shanley  of  Montreal : 

"  In  Day's  Historical  Collections  of  Penna.,  mention  is  made  of  Refugee  Joseph  Doans 
appearing  before  Squire  Shaw  as  a  '  poor,  degraded  broken  down  old  man.'  Tiie  fact  is 
Joseph  Doan  was  at  that  time  the  owner  of  a  good  farm  of  200  acres,  the  work  of  his  own 
hands,  and  his  whole  career  in  Canada  was  one  of  industry,  honest  hard  work  and  thrift. 
He  brought  up  a  family  of  seven  children,  worthy  and  respectable,  and  even  when  over 
eighty  years  of  age  when  his  farm  was  divided  between  his  two  sons  Joseph  and  Abra- 
ham, he  would  stiU  work.  It  seems  that  beside  being  a  schoolmaster,  his  son  Abraham 
says,  that  for  years  in  New  Jersey  and  afterwards  in  Humberstone  his  father  was  by 
trade  a  carpenter  and  cooper.  Till  nearly  ninety  years  of  age  he  worked  at  his  trades  in 
a  shop  of  liis  own  and  apparently  from  sheer  love  of  toil.  He  was  no  '  scoundrel '  as 
Mr.  Day  chooses  to  call  him  and  in  no  sense  was  he  'degraded'  or  '  brokendown,'  but 
full  of  courage  and  vitality  to  the  last,  and,  by  all  accounts  gathered  from  those  who  knew 
him,  of  a  singularly  independent  and  fearless  character.  It  is  quite  likely  that  he  faced 
Squire  Shaw,  and  the  old  Quaker  neighbors  with  whom  he  had  the  suit,  with  the  fear- 
lessness of  a  man  who  knew  he  had  right  on  his  side.  Joseph  Doan,  the  '  Refugee,'  was 
a  man  of  strong  feeling,  great  independence  of  character  and  possessed  of  moral  and 
physical  courage,  and  during  his  more  than  fifty  years  of  life  in  Canada,  was  a  respected 
citizen  in  a  God-fearing  community." 


236  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

was  of  a  rather  hasty  and  passionate  disposition.  Yet  on  the  whole  a  very 
good  neighbor.  Of  the  sons  Moses,  Levi,  Aaron,  Joseph  and  Mahlon,  and 
the  daughter  Polly,  all  were  born  on  the  old  homestead.  I  have  often  heard 
my  old  grandfather  say  that  they  were  the  smartest  and  finest  family  of  boys 
raised  in  that  neighborhood,  and  continued  so,  till  the  troublous  times  of  the 
Revolution  broke  out,  and  even  after  this  until  their  father,  like  many 
others,  was  despoiled  of  his  goods  by  men  calling  themselves  Whigs.  When 
this  oppression  became  unbearable  the  boys,  now  active  able  men,  began  to 
retaliate  by  severely  whipping  Colonel  Robinson,  Captain  Shaw  and  others, 
and  thus  rendered  themselves  obnoxious  to  the  Whig  party  generally.  From 
this  period  matters  grew  worse  on  both  sides  until  the  Doans  were  practi- 
cally outlawed.  Moses  was  surprised  and  caught  on  the  banks  of  the  To- 
hickon  I  think,  by  Colonel  Hart,  who  had  him  down.  While  being  tied  one 
Gibson  came  up  and  shot  him  dead  under  Hart's  arm.  He  was  then  thrown 
across  a  horse  and  brought  to  Plumsteadville  amidst  great  rejoicings  at  the 
capture  of  the  leader  of  the  gang.  Abram  and  Levi  were  arrested,  tried, 
convicted  and  executed.  Their  bodies  were  buried  in  the  woods  of  the 
Plumstead  Quaker  Meeting  house.  It  was  currently  reported  that  both  of 
them  to  show  their  activity  jumped  over  a  six  feet  pump  in  the  jail  yard, 
with  their  weights  on.  I  now  come  to  Joseph  who  is  the  only  one  I  ever 
saw,  a  portly,  good  looking,  active,  intelligent  man  of  seventy-two  years, 
straight  as  an  Indian,  very  nearly  six  feet  high  and  had  travelled  on  foot 
all  the  way  from  Canada  to  Plumstead,  a  distance  of  over  four  hundred  miles. 
I  saw  him  at  different  times  place  his  hand  on  the  top  rail  of  an  ordinary 
fence  and  spring  over  it  like  a  man  of  twenty.  About  his  arrest,  I  will  give 
his  own  version  as  nearly  as  I  can  remember.  It  took  place  in  Montgomery 
Co.,  somewhere  on  the  banks  of  the  Skippack  Creek,  where  they  had  a  ren- 
dezvous in  which  they  were  suddenly  surprised  and  obliged  to  take  to  their 
horses  sans  ceremonie.  Unfortunately  for  Joseph,  his  own  horse,  in  the  con- 
fusion, was  taken  for  another,  and  he  was  obliged  to  mount  an  inferior  one 
that  could  not  run  well.  In  the  flight  they  scattered  through  a  corn-field,  the 
corn  at  the  time  being  in  full  tassel,  the  pursuers  meantime  firing  upon  them. 
Joseph  was  hit  by  one  of  these  shots  which  grazed  his  chin,  shattered  his 
lower  jaw  to  some  extent  and  knocked  away  some  of  his  teeth.  In  jumping 
the  fence  his  horse  stumbled  and  himself  was  thrown  to  the  ground,  in  con- 
sequence of  which  he  was  obliged  to  surrender.  The  rest  escaped.  He  was 
then  taken  to  Newtown  jail,  tried,  convicted  and  sentenced  to  death.  Joseph 
in  his  narrative  further  says :  '  Sometime  after  this  my  wife  paid  me  a 
visit  bringing  an  auger,  rope,  file  and  case  knife  in  her  clothes,  which  I  care- 
fully concealed.  With  the  file  I  converted  the  knife  into  a  saw  and  with  it 
sawed  off  my  irons,  then  bored  off  the  lock  and  got  into  the  yard,  where  I 
attached  a  heavy  stone  to  the  end  of  the  rope,  and  threw  it  over  the  wall  and 
by  this  means  I  scaled  the  wall  and  was  free.  How  glorious  I  felt,  and  with 
what  a  vim  I  started  off  on  a  run  when  the  first  thing  I  knew  I  was  tumbling 
headlong  into  a  quarry,  falling  headforemost  a  distance  of  twenty  feet  upon 
the  rocks  at  the  bottom.  I  had  seen  this  quarry  daily  from  my  prison 
window,  but  in  the  joyous  enthusiasm  of  again  being  free  I  had   forgotten

it.  As  soon  as  I  was  able  I  crawled  out  as  well  as  I  could,  and  by  great 
effort  got  to  the  house  of  one  Vandergrift,  roused  him  from  bed  and  induced 
him  to  secrete  me  until  the  pursuit  was  over.  A  large  straw  stack  in  the  barn 
yard  furnished  the  needed  asylum.  We  pulled  a  batten  out  of  the  side,  and 
I  worked  a  convenient  opening  on  the  inside  so  that  before  morning  I  was 
safely  housed  by  putting  the  batten  back  into  the  hole.  Vandergrift  fed  me 
at  night,  and  I  spent  between  two  and  three  weeks  in  this  seclusion,  and 
when  I  felt  well  enough  I  left  my  straw  house,  and  went  by  night  into  one 
of  the  upper  counties  of  New  Jersey,  where  I  raised  a  school  in  order  to  get 
a  little  money.  I  boarded  at  the  village  tavern  where  I  felt  comparatively 
safe  until  one  clay  on  opening  the  door  to  enter  the  bar  room  I  saw  Colonel 
Robinson  sitting  there,  fortunately  for  me,  with  his  back  toward  the  door. 
I  quietly  closed  the  door,  stepped  back  and  went  another  way.  My  equanim- 
ity was  disturbed  and  I  felt  that  this  was  no  place  for  me.  I  now  plead  in- 
disposition, closed  my  school,  collected  what  money  I  could  and  made  my 
way  into  Canada.  My  brother  Aaron  had  preceded  me  and  we  have  lived 
there  ever  since.'  Joseph  was  well  informed  in  political  and  other  matters, 
a  good  conversationalist  and  a  strong  advocate  of  the  Canadian  government. 
He  and  my  father  sat  up  one  whole  night  discussing  the  relative  merits  of 
the  two  forms  of  government.  Joseph  also  visited  the  old  farm  and  many 
of  the  places  that  had  formerly  been  known  to  him,  expressing  great  pleas- 
ure at  the  changes  and  improvements  that  had  been  made.  He  also  visited 
Captain  Shaw  in  Doylestown,  the  man  who  had  been  so  cruelly  whipped,  and 
they  talked  over  their  old  reminiscences  of  the  Revolution,  and  Joseph  re- 
marked with  pleasure  of  the  urbanity  and  courtesy  of  the  old  captain."

229  AARON6  DOANE  (Joseph,5  Israel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2 
John1)  was  born  in  Plnmstead,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.  and  died  in  Humber- 
stone,  Welland  Co.,  Ontario,  Canada.  He  married,  in  Humberstone, 
Rhoda  Cook. 

According  to  the  confession  of  the  Vickers  boys,  he  was  concerned 
in  the  robbery  of  the  Bucks  county  treasury  at  Newtown,*  in  the  raid 
upon  collectors  Barton  of  Buckingham,  Keith  of  Makefield  and 
others.  In  consequence  of  participation  in  those  robberies,  he  came 
under  the  Proclamation  of  Sept.  13,  1783,  and  was  arrested  in  Balti- 
more Co.,  Md.  about  the  middle  of  Aug.,  1784,  and  conveyed  by  his 
captors,  Joseph  McClennan  and  Amos  Ogden,  to  the  jail  in  Phila- 
delphia. Being  identified  by  Capt.  Robert  Gibson  he  was  held  for 
trial  on  the  charge  of  outlawry,  tried,  convicted  and  condemned  to  be 
hanged  in  Sept.,  1784,  but  shortly  after  his  conviction,  he  addressed 
the  following  petition  to  the  Supreme  Executive  Council.

To   His  Excellency  the   President  &  the   Hon'ble   the  Supreme  Executive 

.  Council  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania : 
The  Petition  of  Aaron  Doane  a  languishing  Prisoner  in  the  Jail  of  the  City 

and  County  of  Philadelphia, 
Most  humbly  sheweth, 

That  your  Petitioner  unfortunately  fell  under  the  Suspicion  of  this  Hon'ble 
Board  as  being  au  Accomplice  in  the  Robbery  of  the  Treasurer  of  Bucks 
Co.,  in  the  year  1781  or  thereabouts,  for  which  supposed  Crime  he  was 
called  on  by  Proclamation  of  this  Honorable  Board  to  surrender  himself  a 
prisoner  and  undergo  his  Trial  for  the  same.  That  not  being  well  advised 
he  neglected  to  do  so  whereby  he  became  outlaw'd  or  attainted  &  with  sev- 
eral others  was  afterwards  apprehended  &  brought  before  the  Hon'ble  the 
Supreme  Court  and  asked  what  he  had  to  say  why  Judgment  of  Death 
should  not  pass  upou  him ;  that  having  unadviseadly  suffered  his  Time  pre- 
scribed to  expire  without  a  surrender  of  his  person,  his  Innocense  of  the 
Fact  stood  him  in  no  stead  and  not  being  able  to  deny  that  he  was  the  per- 
son prescribed  under  his  Name  Judgment  of  Death  was  accordingly  passed 
on  him  &  he  has  now  remained  in  Jail  under  a  heavy  Load  of  Irons  upwards 
of  fifteen  months.  Your  Petitioner  most  solemnly  declares  his  Innocense 
of  the  said  Fact  &  his  utter  Ignorance  of  the  Time  manner  and  Persons  who 
committed  the  said  Robbery  except  from  Information  he  has  had  since  his 
Confinement,  and  for  the  Truth  of  this  Declaration  he  appeals  to  the  con- 
fession of  Robert  Johnson  Steel  one  of  the  Persons  who  was  actually  Guilty

&  has  been  pardoned,  who  declared  before  his  Honor  the  Chief  Justice  &  is 
now  ready  to  repeat  it  before  this  Honorable  Board,  that  your  Petitioner 
was  not  a  party  nor  privy  to  sd  Robbery. 

Your  Petitioner  therfore,  most  humbly  prays  that  this  Hon'ble  Board  will 
be  pleased  to  take  his  Case  into  their  Consideration  &  extend  their  Clemency 
to  him,  in  as  much  as  so  long  &  grievous  an  Imprisonment  may  justly  be 
deemed  a  sufficient  Attonement  for  his  Negligence,  or  Contempt  of  the  Laws 
of  his  Country,  for  which  he  most  heartily  begs  Pardon. 

And  your  Petitioner  will  ever  pray,  &c.

Philad'a  Jail,  Nov.  8,  1785. 

On  the  17th  of  May,  1787,  the  Supreme  Executive  Council  ordered 
in  the  case  of  Aaron  Doan  that  he  be  pardoned  on  condition  that  he 
transport  himself  across  the  seas,  not  to  return  to  the  United  States. 
On  the  28th  of  the  same  month  he  petitioned  the  Council  for  a  short 
time  before  going  away,  in  which  to  collect  certain  debts,  "  subject 
to  the  penalty  of  death  if  found  in  any  of  the  United  States  after 
the  expiration  of  said  given  time."  He  chose  Canada  for  his  place 
of  exile  and  settled  in  the  township  of  Humberstone.  In  Canada 
he  was  a  member  of  the  Methodist  church,  was  a  good  neighbor,  a 
genial  friend  and  bore  a  good  reputation  for  honesty  and  integrity. 
During  the  invasion  of  Canada  by  the  Americans  in  the  War  of 
1812,  he  was  drafted  and  served  in  the  British  army.

230  LEVI6  DOANE  (Joseph,5  Israel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1) 
was  born  at  Plumstead,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  and  was  hanged  at  Philadel- 
phia, Pa.,  Sept.  24,  1788.  His  history  was  closely  identified  with 
that  of  his  cousin,  Abraham  Doane  (234)  hence  some  of  the  facts 
in  the  career  of  both  are  here  related.  They  were  first  cousins,  nearly 
of  the  same  age,  and  finally  ended  their  lives  at  the  same  time,  and 
under  the  same  circumstances.  Levi  Doane's  name  appears  with  that 
of  his  cousin  Abraham  and  others  in  the  Proclamation  dated  Satur- 
day, July  26,  1783,  and  in  which  a  reward  of  £100  specie  is  offered 
for  the  capture  of  each  or  any  one  of  them.  In  June,  1784,  Abraham 
Doane  (234)  and  two  or  three  of  his  accomplices  were  arrested  and 
lodged  in  a  jail  in  Washington  Co.,  Pa.,  while  on  their  way  to  Detroit. 
He  probably  escaped  from  that  prison  but  finally,  in  1788,  was  arrested 
with  his  cousin  Levi  in  Chester  Co.,  and  conveyed  to  Philadelphia. 
They  were  in  the  Philadelphia  jail  in  June,  1788,  awaiting  sentence 
of  death  under  the  outlawry.  On  the  7th  of  that  month  they  petitioned 
Benjamin  Franklin,  President  of  the  Executive  Council,  asking  that 
the  mercy  of  the  laws  of  the  country  may  be  extended  to  them,  and 
that  the  "  outlawry  so  far  as  it  relates  to  punishing  us  with  death 
may  be  rescinded."  They  acknowledged  they  had  aided  the  British 
and  committed  various  offences,  but  plead  their  "  youth  and  inex- 
perience "  and  the  "  artful  persuasion  of  designing  men,"  in  exten- 
uation. In  a  subsequent  petition  dated  July  14,  1788,  they  say  they 
were  induced  by  artful  enemies  of  the  Commonwealth  to  commit 
various  crimes  at  an  early  age,  neither  of  them  being  seventeen  years 
old,  but  declare  they  were  not  "  directly  or  indirectly  concerned  in 
the  felony  and  burglary  wherewith  we  are  charged,  and  for  which 
this  process  (outlawry)  was  had  against  us."  The  petitions  of  the 
unfortunate  men  themselves,  not  having  met  the  success  desired,  the 
friends  of  the  family  in  Bucks  Co.  interposed  their  influence  to  save 
their  lives. 

On  the  13th  of  Aug.,  1788,  the  mothers  and  sisters  of  the  con- 
demned men  petitioned  the  council  for  pardon,  but  they  say,  if  they 
cannot  do  this  they  desire  that  length  of  time  be  granted  "  to  pre- 
pare for  death  and  to  complete,  if  possible,  the  important  work  of 
salvation."     This  petition  bears   the   signatures   of  Hester  Doane,

mother  of  Levi ;  Rachel  Doane,  mother  of  Abraham ;  Rachel  Doane, 
sister  of  Abraham,  and  Mary  Doane,  sister  of  Levi.     This  petition 
was  supported  by  another,  signed  by  over  one  hundred  persons  who 
ask  that  the  lives  of  the  two  men  "  may  be  spared  and  the  punish- 
ment of  death  remitted  or  altered  to  that  of  hard  labor  or  banish- 
ment."    To  this  petition  are  signed,   among  others,  the  names  of 
Edward  Fox,  father  of  the  late  Judge  Fox  of  Doylestown ;  Robert 
Morris  the  financier   of   the  Revolution    and  William  White,  first 
Episcopal  Bishop  of  New  Jersey.     Two  days  afterward  the  mothers 
presented  another  petition  accompanied  by  one  from  their  two  con- 
demned sons  asking  for  pardon,  or  an  extension  of  time  to  prepare 
for  death.     Another  and  similar  petition  was  presented  the  9th  of 
Aug.     The  6th  of  Sept.,  Joseph  Doane  the  father  of  Levi,  and  uncle 
of  Abraham,  petitions  the  council  in  behalf  of  his  son  and  nephew, 
and   asks  that  their  lives  be  spared.     These  repeated  applications 
must  have  made  some  impression  on  the  Executive  Council,  for  soon 
afterward  a  petition,  numerously  signed  by  inhabitants  of  Bucks  Co., 
was  presented  to  council  asking  that  the  law  be  allowed  to  take  its 
course,  and  protesting  against  the  pardon  of  the  criminals.     It  was 
laid  before  the  council  and  read  on  the  17th  of  Sept.,  1788.     All 
efforts  to  save  Abraham  and  Levi  Doane  from  death  were  unavailing 
and  on  Sept.  24,  1788,  they  were  publicly  hanged  on  the  common  in 
the  city  of  Philadelphia.    It  is  said  that  the  father  of  Levi  went  to  the 
city  and  carried  the  two  bodies  in  a  cart  to  Plumstead.     The  Society 
of  Friends  in  that  village,  after  deliberating  awhile,  refused  to  grant 
permission  for  the  interment  in  their  graveyard,  consequently  they 
were  buried  in  the  edge  of  the  woods  nearly  opposite  the  Plumstead 
Meeting-house. 

An  old  lady,  who  once  lived  on  the  Doane  farm,  remembers  that 
Levi's  mother  was  in  the  habit  of  visiting  his  grave,  over  which  with 
Bible  in  hand  she  would  read  and  weep  for  hours  at  a  time. 

When  Abraham  and  Levi  were  hanged  in  Philadelphia,  it  was  com- 
monly said  of  them,  with  special  reference  to  Abraham,  "  they  have 
hanged  the  smartest  two  men  in  Pennsylvania."* 

*  As  an  illustration  of  Abraham  Doane's  surprising  activity  we  quote  the  following 
from  History  of  the  Doan  Outlaws:  "In  the  spring  of  1786,  agroup  of  idlers  were  assem- 
bled in  front  of  a  hotel  in  Lancaster.  Observing  the  prodigious  leaping  of  one  of  their 
number,  whose  strength  and  agility  were  so  preeminent  that  he  excelled  all  the  rest  in  the 
sport,  in  the  midst  of  his  success  an  athletic  man  stepped  from  the  crowd  and  offered 
to  match  him,  as  a  pastime,  for  a  wager.  His  offer  was  at  once  accepted,  the  money 
staked,  and  the  overconfident  leaper  did  his  best.    As  the  stranger  very  calmly  stepped

The  following  account  of  the  arrest  and  execution  of  Levi  and 
Abraham  Doane  is  from  the  Autobiography  of  Charles  Biddle : 

In  the  month  of  Sept.,  1788,  Levi  and  Abraham  Doan,  two  young  men  from 
Bucks  Co.,  were  taken  prisoners  and  brought  before  the  Supreme  Court 
then  sitting  in  Philadelphia.  Being  outlawed  it  was  only  necessary  to  iden- 
tify them  to  sentence  them  to  death.  As  they  were  well  known  in  Bucks 
Co.,  this  was  done  and  they  received  their  sentence.  The  case  of  these  young 
men  was  exceedingly  hard.  When  very  young,  their  fathers  were  very  ill 
treated  by  some  violent  committee  men  in  the  county,  on  account  of  their 
attachment  to  the  British  Government.  These  lads  were  threatened  if  they 
did  not  voluntarily  enter  into  the  American  army  they  should  be  pressed. 
In  consequence  of  this  they  went  off  and  joined  the  British.  It  was  said  they 
afterwards  committed  depredations  in  the  neighborhood  of  where  they  were 
born,  and  it  is  probably  true.  If  the  treatment  of  their  parents  did  not  jus- 
tify them,  it  certainly  was  some  excuse  for  their  conduct.  At  the  conclusion 
of  the  Peace  they  returned  to  their  county,  as  they  said,  to  see  their  friends 
and  relations;  but  one  of  them,  it  was  generally  thought,  came  back  on  ac- 
count of  a  very  handsome  girl  he  was  fond  of  before  he  went  to  the  British, 
and  his  cousin  would  not  leave  him.  They  were  concealed  a  considerable 
time  by  their  friends ;  it  at  length,  however,  became  known  that  they  were 
in  the  county,  when  several  who  were,  or  conceived  themselves,  injured  by 
them,  endeavored  to  have  them  apprehended  ;  but  as  they  were  stout,  active, 
resolute  men  and  went  always  well  armed,  those  who  were  in  pursuit  of 
them  were  afraid  openly  to  attack  them.  Probably  there  hardly  lived  a  more 
active  man  than  the  younger,  Abraham.  If  he  were  seen  by  persons  on  horse- 
back in  pursuit  of  him,  and  he  on  foot,  he  would  run  like  a  deer,  and  no 
fence  could  stop  him  for  a  moment.  He  went  over  any  fence  without  put- 
ting a  hand  on  it.  They  were  both  tall,  handsome  men.  A  considerable  time 
after  their  return  into  the  State  they  were  taken  by  surprise  in  Chester  Co., 
by  some  men  who  were  out  hunting,  who,  from  their  appearance  in  the 
woods,  and  from  their  endeavors  to  conceal  themselves,  suspected  them  of 
having  bad  intentions,  and  insisted  on  their  going  before  a  magistrate.  They 
made  no  resistance,  hoping,  as  they  were  not  known,  they  would  be  imme- 
diately dismissed;  in  this,  however,  they  were  mistaken.  They  were  car- 
ried before  Colonel  Hannum  who  committed  them  to  jail.  Had  they  not  at- 
tempted to  conceal  themselves,  they  would  not  have  been  apprehended,  for 
they  told  a  very  plausible  story  of  their  being  New  Jersey  men  on  the  way 
westward  to  take  up  land. 

Had  they  applied  to  Thomas  Ross,  Esq.,  a  gentleman  of  the  Bar,  who  then 
lived  at  Chester  (and  was  present  when  they  were  brought  before  Colonel 

up  to  the  mark,  there  was  a  general  smile  among  the  bystanders  at  his  venturing  to  com- 
pete with  their  famous  friend.  He,  however,  very  leisurely  took  off  his  hat  and  coat, 
tied  a  handkerchief  around  his  waist,  and  at  a  single  spring  cleared  the  ground  several 
feet  beyond  his  competitor.  Never  were  a  set  of  men  more  astonished  than  the  specta- 
tors who  witnessed  this  feat,  and  the  man  who  had  been  thus  signally  outdone  was  so 
amazxHl  that  he  exclaimed:  'By  G  — !  you  must  either  be  the  devil  or  a  Doan.'  The 
stranger  immediately  left  the  party  who,  upon  enquiry,  proved  to  be  none  other  than 
Abraham  Doane."

Hannura),  within  a  day  or  two  of  their  commitment  he  would  have  had  them 
liberated,  but  owing  to  some  mistake  they  did  not  apply  in  time,  and  they 
were  detained  until,  some  people  coming  to  Chester  from  Bucks  Co. ,  they  were 
known.     As  there  was  no  reward  offered  for  apprehending  them  [Mr.  Bid- 
die  is  mistaken  in  this  as  Levi  and  Abraham  were  mentioned  in  the  Procla- 
mation of  Outlawry] ,  the  people  who  took  them  were  in  no  way  anxious  about 
their  being  kept  in  prison.  Mr.  Ross,  who  was  their  counsel  when  they  were 
brought  to  the  Court,  has  since  told  me  that  he  lamented  they  had  not  applied 
in  time  to  him,  for  he  knew  the  family  had  been  hardly  used.     He  was  born 
near  where  these  young  men  were,  and  knew  them  well  before  they  went 
off,  but  did  not  recollect  them  when  they  were  brought  before  Colonel  Han- 
num.     After  they  were  condemned,  and  the  time  was  fixed  for  their  execu- 
tion, the  father  of  Abraham,  several  female  relations  and  friends,  and  some 
influential  gentlemen,  waited  on  the  Council  to  solicit  a  pardon  for  them,  or,  if 
that  could  not  be  obtained,  a  reprieve.  The  latter  was  readily  granted.  Hear- 
ing much  of  these  men,  and  wishing  to  communicate  intelligence  which  I 
knew  would  give  great  pleasure  to  these  unfortunate  men  and  their  friends, 
I  went  to  jail  to  inform  them  that  the  Council  had  granted  a  reprieve  for  one 
month.      I  wished  also  to  prepare  them  for  the  worst  that  might  happen. 
When  I  went  into  the  room,  they  were  surrounded  by  their  relatives  and 
friends,  among  whom  were   several  females,  two  of  them  very  handsome 
srirls  who  had  lived  with  them  in  the  woods.      It  was  to  no  purpose  I  told 
them  that  the  prisoners  were  only  reprieved  for  a  month,  and  that  it  was 
probable  they  would  not  be  pardoned.  When  they  found  they  were  reprieved 
they  gave  way  to  the  most  extravagant  joy ;  they  all  concluded  that  through 
the  Intercession  of  friends,  they  should  be  pardoned.  This,  I  told  them,  they 
must  not  expect,  although  I  had  little  doubt  myself  but  that  a  pardon  would 
be  granted.  I  always  thought  it  wrong  to  grant  a  reprieve  for  any  length  of 
time,  without  granting  a  pardon ;  it  is  like  putting  a  man  to  death  in  cold 
blood.  Before  the  month  expired  the  Legislature  met,  when  they  petitioned 
for  pardon,  and  if  that  could  not  be  obtained  a  trial  by  jury.  The  Legislature 
were  inclined  to  pass  a  bill  in  their  favor,  and  appointed  a  committee,  con- 
sisting of  Mr.  Lewis,  Mr.  Fitzsimons  and  Mr.  Rittenhouse,  to  confer  with 
the  Supreme  Executive  Council  on  the  subject  of  their  pardon.      This  I  be- 
lieve was  what  proved  fatal  to  these  young  men.  Several  of  the  members  of 
the  Council  thought  the  Legislature  had  no  business  to  interfere,  as  the  power 
of  pardoning,  by  the  Constitution,  was  given  to  the  Council.    They  refused  to 
pardon  or  extend  the  time  fixed  for  their  execution.      It  was  in  vain  the 
members  of  the  Legislature  and  the  minority  in  the  Council  urged  the  peculiar 
situation  of  these  unfortunate  men;  the  majority  were  jealous  of  the  inter- 
ference of  the  Legislature,  and  it  was  carried  by  a  very  small  majority,  that 
they  should  suffer.  Going  to  the  Council  the  day  afterwards,  I  met  them  going 
in  a  cart  to  the  gallows,  followed  by  their  relations  and  friends.     It  was  a 
very  affecting  sight.     They  died  with  great  firmness.

Jesse  Vickers,  Aug.  9,  1782,  he  also  is  charged  with  complicity  in  the 
robbery  of  the  Bucks  County  treasury,  Oct.  22, 1781,  and  in  the  rob- 
beries of  certain  collectors  of  taxes  and  military  fines.  Accordingly 
his  name  appears  in  the  Proclamations  of  June  30,  and  July  26,  1783. 
By  reason  of  these  notices  and  the  rewards  offered  for  his  apprehen- 
sion, he  fled  to  western  Pennsylvania,  where  he  was  captured  by  one 
John  Solomon  Miller  and  lodged  in  the  Bedford  County  jail,  on  Sat- 
urday, Sept.  27,  1783.  With  the  aid  of  confederates  Mahlon  Doane 
soon  escaped  from  that  prison,  but  before  leaving  released  all  the 
prisoners  except  one,  who  had  been  guilty  of  robbing  a  woman. 
"Mahlon  was  a  thin  visaged,  slender  man,  not  more  than  five  feet 
eight  inches  in  height.  He  was  the  smallest  of  the  brothers,  but  though 
lacking  in  size  and  brute  strength,  he  was  wiry  and  active.  He  was 
a  hard  man  to  capture,  and  a  harder  captive  to  hold.  He  was  recog- 
nized by  his  long,  coal-black  hair,  and  a  peculiar  habit  he  had  of 
looking  down,  but  more  positively  by  a  blemish  in  one  eye,  and  a 
scar  beneath  it." — History  of  the  Doane  Outlaws. 

What  became  of  Mahlon  after  his  escape  is  a  matter  of  mere  con- 
jecture. There  is  a  tradition  that  in  freeing  himself  of  his  irons,  he 
mutilated  his  feet  and  shortly  after  died  in  the  woods  from  loss  of 
blood.  Another  tradition  is,  that  he  drowned  himself  in  the  Chesa- 
peake to  escape  further  persecutions.  His  nephew,  Levi  Doane,  son 
of  "  Exile  Aaron  "  (229)  of  Canada,  about  1880  said  of  his  uncle 
Mahlon  :  "He  escaped  from  prison  and  went  on  board  a  ship  at  New 
York  on  which  were  four  hundred  Loyalists.  I  believe  they  sailed 
for  England.     We  never  heard  any  more  of  Mahlon." 

232  JONATHAN^  DOANE  (Elijah,5  Israel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2 
John1)  was  born  1765,  3,  16.  He  married  Jane  Thompson,  who  was 
born  1764,  12,  24,  the  daughter  of  John  Thompson.  In  1789  they 
removed  from  Pennsylvania  or  New  Jersey  to  Canada  and  settled 
first  at  Sugar  Loaf,  in  the  Niagara  district,  where  they  resided  about 
twenty  years.  In  1810  they  removed  to  the  township  of  Yarmouth, 
County  of  Elgin.  Being  one  of  the  first  settlers  there  and  a  man  of 
energy  and  influence,  he  was  known  in  old  age  as  "  The  Patriarch  of 
Yarmouth."

234  ABRAHAM6  DOANE  (Israel,5  Israel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2 
John1)  was  born  probably  at  Plumstead,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.  He  was 
hanged  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  Sept.  24,  1788.  For  some  facts  of  his 
career  see  the  notice  of  his  cousin  Levi  Doane  (230). 

235  ISRAEL6  DOANE  (Israel,5  Israel,4  Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1) 
was  born  in  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  1770,  4,  6  and  died  at  Cain,  Chester 
Co.,  Pa.,  1848,  1,  18.  He  married  Leah  Pennington,  who  was  born 
about  1767  and  died  at  Cain,  1845, 1, 1,  aged  77  years,  the  daughter  of 
William  and  Mary  Pennington.  She  was  his  first  cousin  on  the 
maternal  side.  Of  Mr.  Doane's  youth  very  little  is  known,  but  it  is 
understood  that  he  lived  for  a  time,  after  the  death  of  his  father, 
with  an  uncle  named  Samuel  Kester.  Before  reaching  the  age  of 
twenty  he  married  and  settled  in  Chester  county,  and  lived  in  the 
townships  of  East  Cain  and  Brandywine,  now  West  Brandywine. 
At  one  time  he  owned  a  farm  in  East  Cain,  and  later  one  in  Brandy- 
wine which  he  sold  to  his  son  Israel.  When  more  than  fifty  years 
old,  he  walked  all  the  distance  to  and  from  Canada,  on  a  visit  to  rel- 
atives who,  it  is  understood,  lived  nearly  opposite  the  town  of  Erie, 
Pa.  About  1806  he  and  his  wife  united  with  the  Friends  Meeting  at 
Cain.  Mr.  Doane  was  a  man  of  fine  personal  appearance,  of  great 
physical  activity,  keen  in  repartee  and  very  conscientious  in  all  his 
dealings  with  his  fellow  men.  He  was  blind  during  several  of  the 
last  years  of  his  life.     He  was  a  weaver  by  trade,  and  a  farmer.

236  DORCAS6  DOANE  (Nekemiah,5  Ephraim,4  Hezekiah,3 
Ephraim,2  John1)  was  bora  at  Middletown,  Conn.,  Feb.  1,  1765  and 
died  at  Bridport,  Vt.,  Aug.  5,  1839  (gravestone,  Bridport).  She 
married  Nov.  20,  1782,  James  Barbour,  who  died  at  Bridport,  Oct. 
22,  1839,  aged  79  years,  lOmos.  (gravestone,  Bridport).  The  same 
year  of  their  marriage  they  settled  in  Bridport,  where  they  were 
among  the  first  settlers.  It  is  said  that  they  made  the  first  Thanks- 
giving dinner  in  Bridport,  to  which  all  the  townspeople,  consisting  of 
six  families,  were  invited.  They  both  were  of  stanch  old  stock,*  both 
were  christians  and  leading  members  of  the  Congregational  church. 

Children,  all  bora  at  Bridport : 

i  Ira,7  b.  Sept.  30,  1783;  d.  in  Mich.,  Dec.  20,  1867.  He  married

Praxana  Boyington;  m.  2nd,  Feb.  6,  1814,  Esther  Cobb.  He 
left  Vt.  when  a  young  man ;  lived  in  Central  N.  Y.  many 
years,  but  later  followed  his  children  to  Michigan. 

*  They  were  christians  of  fine  old  Puritan  ancestry,  and  consequently  very  staid  and 
sober.  On  one  occasion  a  lawyer  of  Shoreham  reported  that  he  saw  Mr.  Barbour  and 
his  wife  out  in  the  yard,  "pulling  hair  with  all  their  might,  and  that  the  old  man  had  a 
a  butcher's  knife  in  his  hand."  The  church  concluded  that  for  so  grave  an  offence,  they 
should  be  called  to  an  account.  Accordingly  they  were  arraigned  before  a  meeting  of 
the  dignitaries,  when  the  testimony  developed  the  fact,  it  was  the  hair  of  a  butchered 
hog  they  were  pulling.

there  of  small-pox  early  in  1766.  Married  second,  Dec.  25, 1766,  by 
Rev.  Stephen  Emery,  Abigail  Gould  of  Harwich,  who  died  Apr.  30, 
1820,  aged  75  years  (gravestone,  old  Chatham  cemetery).  Mr. 
Doane  was  master  of  merchant  vessels  in  foreign  trade.  While  a 
young  man  he  left  the  sea,  and  became  a  very  prominent  man  in  Chat- 
ham. He  was  a  Justice  of  the  Peace,  and  a  Notary  Public  for  many 
years  after  1780,  and  was  locally  known  as  'Sludge  Doane,"  later 
in  life  as  "  Old  Squire  Doane."  He  was  a  Massachusetts  senator  in 
1783,  1789,  1790  and  perhaps  other  years.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the 
Revolutionary  War,  and  Lieutenant  of  the  Reindeer  in  the  War  of 
1812.

241  ISAIAH6  DOANE  (Elisha,5  Elisha,4  Hezekiah,3  Ephraim,2 
John1)  was  born  at  Wellfleet,  Mass.,  Oct.  16,  1753  and  died 
in  Boston,  Mass.,  Apr.  22,  1805  (buried  in  Doane  tomb,  King's 
Chapel).  He  married  Apr.  9,  1775,  by  Rev.  Chandler  Robbins, 
Hannah  Bartlett  of  Barnstable,  formerly  of  Plymouth,  Mass.,  who 
was  born  Apr.  11,  1758  and  died  in  Boston,  Apr.  22,  1814  (buried 
in  Doane  tomb).  Her  sister,  Elizabeth  Bartlett,  married  Gen. 
Peleg  Wadsworth,  grandfather  of  Henry  Wadsworth  Longfellow, 
the  poet. 

Mr.  Doane  received  private  instruction  under  the  Rev.  Mr.  Shute 
and  graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1774.  On  Apr.  10,  1776,  he, 
with  a  boat's  crew,  captured  off  Cohasset,  Mass.,  the  British  ship 
Industry^  with  her  valuable  cargo,  which  was  recorded  as  a  very 
gallant  act.  After  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  war  he  moved  to 
Boston  and  purchased,  in  1783,  for  £2400  the  Faneuil-Phillips 
house  where  he  lived  several  years.  On  account  of  the  death  of  a 
favorite  child  on  the  grounds  of  the  mansion,  he  changed  his  resi- 
dence in  Boston,  retaining  the  family  home  in  Wellfleet  and  pur- 
chasing a  country  house  in  Med  ford,  Mass.  In  1787,  he  was  one  of 
the  gentlemen  volunteers  in  the  Shay  Rebellion.  Inheriting  a  large 
fortune  he  lived  elegantly  in  accordance  with  it ;  entertained  lavishly 
and  was  prominent  in  society  and  all  social  matters.  He  was  very 
benevolent,  his  property  and  personal  services  were  never  denied  to 
those  who  needed  them,  and  his  sympathies  were  without  calculation. 

As  president  of  the  Board  of  Health  of  Boston  from  1798  to  1805,

DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  253 

his  benevolence  had  a  large  scope,  and  it  is  recorded  that  he  "  was 
greatly  respected  and  beloved."  In  1798,  yellow  fever  appeared  in 
Boston,  and  Mr.  Doane  in  fulfilling  his  duties  on  the  Board  of  Health, 
contracted  the  disease,  from  the  effects  of  which  he  never  fully  re- 
covered. Travel  and  sea  voyages,  later,  failed  to  restore  bis  strength, 
and  finally  returning  to  his  Boston  home  he  died  as  above  noted. 
On  his  tomb  in  King's  Chapel  is  inscribed  : 

He  was  a  tender  husband 

An  affectionate  Father 

A  kind  Master 

And  the  Poor  Man's  friend. 

Isaiah  Doane  inherited  a  large  property  near  what  is  now  Kilby 
street,  in  Boston.  Doane  street,  leading  out  of  Kilby  street,  was  un- 
doubtedly named  for  him  in  1806,  though  John  Doane,  Esq.  (7), 
owned  and  occupied  nearly  all  the  land  in  that  vicinity  as  early  as 
1740.

John1)  was  bora  at  Wellfleet,  Mass.,  Mar.  5,  1762  and  died  at 
Cohasset,  Mass.,  July  4,  1832.  He  married  first,  June  24,  1783,  by 
his  brother-in-law  Rev.  Samuel  Parker,  Jane  Cutler,  who  was  born 
Apr.  28,  1765  and  died  at  Cohasset,  Mass.,  Mar.  2,  1823,  the 
youngest  daughter  of  John  and  Mary  (Clark)  Cutler  of  Boston,  and 
sister  of  Ann  Cutler  wife  of  Rev.  Samuel  Parker,  rector  of  Trinity 
church,  Boston,  and,  later,  Protestant  Episcopal  Bishop  of  Massachu- 
setts. Married  second,  July  4,  1825,  Elizabeth  dishing  who  died  at 
Lynn,  Mass.,  June  17,  1841,  aged  69  years  (buried  in  tomb  166, 
Old  Granary  bury ing-ground,  Boston),  the  daughter  of  Hon.  Charles 
and  Elizabeth  (Sumner)  Cushing. 

Mr.  Doane  graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1781.  About  1786, 
he  purchased  property  from  his  father  and  half-brother  John  Doane 
(243),  in  Cohasset,  Mass.,  and  settled  in  that  town  where  his  wealth, 
culture  and  energy  had  a  lasting  effect  upon  the  community.  He 
dwelt  in  a  house  there  on  the  corner  of  the  present  Sohier  and  Main 
streets,  where  now  a  little  cupola  covers  the  old  cellar.

Although  a  very  active,  stirring  man,  interested  in  everything 
transpiring  in  town,  state  and  nation,  Mr.  Doane  never  held  any 
public  office  except  that  of  a  Justice  of  the  Peace.  He  erected  a  grist 
and  flour  mill,  a  rope  walk  and  salt  works,  engaged  in  domestic  and 
foreign  commerce  for  some  years,  but  finally  relinquished  his  vessels 
and  confined  his  attention  to  his  farm  and  salt  works.

Congregational  church  of  Yarmouth  in  1814,  and  for  more  than  thirty 
years  was  a  blameless  and  most  efficient  member.  He  was  full  of 
good  works,  his  almsdeeds  done  in  secret  were  numerous  and  the 
christian  gentleman  was  apparent  in  all  the  intercourse  of  life.  (See

Representative  to  the  General  Court  for  three  years  from 
1828,  and  was  actively  identified  with  all  the  public  business 
of  his  town.  Of  him  it  was  written  :  "He  was  an  honor 
to  human  nature,  the  staff  of  his  father's  days,  and  so  full 
of  promise,  that  all  who  knew  him  must  have  felt  the  wish 
that  his  days  might  be  prolonged  to  the  utmost  limit  of  hu- 
man life."

252  NEHEMIAH6  DOANE  (Thomas,5  Thomas,4  Thomas,3  Eph-

there  Feb.  22,  1851.  He  was  married  at  Barrington,  Jan.  10,  1799, 
by  Samuel  O.  Doane,  Esq.,  to  Nancy  Kenney,  who  was  born  at  Bar- 
rington, Oct.  14,  1780  and  died  there  Aug.  6,  1864,  the  daughter  of 
Isaac  and  Sarah  (Godfrey)  Kenney.  Nehemiah  Doane  was  a  child 
of   seven  years  when,  at  his  father's  open  grave,  he  saw,  on  May  3, 


260  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

1783,  the  British  transports  pass  the  headlands  of  Barrington  harbor 
with  the  refugee  settlers  of  Shelburne.      After  his  father's  death  he 
lived,  during  his  minority,  with  his  half-brother,  Capt.  John  Lewis, 
on  Cape  Sable  Island  where,  at  the  age  of  twenty-three,  he  married. 
Removing  thence  to  the  mainland  he  built  several  small  vessels  in 
which  he  engaged  in  trading  along  the  coast  from  Labrador  to  Bos- 
ton.    When  in  Boston,  he  was  accustomed  to  visit  his  "  Uncle  Payne" 
(father  of  the  author  of  "  Home,  Sweet  Home"),  whom  with  his  tal- 
ented family  he  held  in  great  affection  and  esteem.    The  war  of  1812- 
15  interrupted  his  trading  ventures  and  left  him  in  business  straits, 
which,  however,  he  gradually  overcame  and  resumed  vessel  building. 
In  1827  he  built  and  launched  the  schooner  Ocean,  in  which  his  sons 
Thomas  and  Isaac  made  two  voyages  from  Halifax  to  the  West  Indies, 
and    in   February,  1828,  started    upon   a  third.    The  night  follow- 
ing their  leaving  Halifax  witnessed  one  of  the  severest  storms  in  the 
history  of  the  Atlantic,  and  vessel  or  crew  was  never  seen  or  heard 
of  again.      From  the  financial  loss  thus  involved  Mr.  Doane  never 
fully  recovered. 

Besides  holding  the  captaincy  of  the  local  militia  company,  Mr. 
Doane  served  many  years  as  overseer  of  the  poor  and  of  the  high- 
ways. A  dead  shot  with  the  rifle,  he  held  an  unsurpassed  reputation 
as  an  enthusiastic  and  mighty  hunter.  A  man  of  wide  reading  and 
superiorly  educated  himself,  the  winter  night-schools  which  he  con- 
ducted set  many  a  young  man  on  the  road  to  future  success.  But 
it  was  in  the  religious  life  of  his  time  in  Barrington  that  he  performed 
his  most  important  part. 

The  first  Barrington  settlers  were  mostly  Congregationalists  and 
Quakers.  One  of  their  number,  the  Rev.  Theodore  Harding,  assisted 
by  Rev.  Thomas  Crandell,  organized  a  Baptist  church,  but  it  was  left 
without  a  pastor  by  Mr.  Harding's  removal  to  Wolfville,  N.  S.  Henry 
Alline,  a  travelling  "New  Light"  preacher,  brought  a  wave  of  re- 
ligious revival  to  Barrington,  which  was  renewed  by  a  visit  from  the 
eloquent  Rev.  Harris  Harding,  of  Yarmouth,  N.  S.,  who  added  num- 
bers to  the  Baptist  flock,  among  them  Thomas  Crowell,  a  brother-in- 
law  of  Mr  Doane.  The  Rev.  Peter  Martin  brought  into  the  church 
Nehemiah  Doane  and  his  wife ;  and  Thomas  Crowell  was  ordained 
and  installed  as  pastor.  After  a  time  Arminian  doctrines  were  intro- 
duced by  the  Revs.  Asa  McGray  and  Jacob  Norton,  of  Maine,  and  a 
period  of  bitter  theological  dispute  intervened  between  the  old  Calvin- 
ists  and  the  new  "Free  Willers,"  such  as  only  undiluted  Puritans  can

wage,  which  ended  in  the  reorganization  of  the  church,  against  the 
opposition  of  the  pastor  and  others,  as  the  "Free  Will  Baptist  Church." 
But  to  the  credit  of  the  people,  showing  that,  in  the  midst  of*  their 
schisms,  brotherly  love  was  strong  within  them,  they  retained  their  old 
beloved  pastor,  and  Mr.  Doane,  as  rigid  a  Calvinist  as  the  minister 
himself,  was  chosen  deacon.     This  office  he  held  till  his  death. 

At  his  funeral,  which  the  whole  countryside  attended,  the  preacher, 
in  summing  up  the  character  of  Nehemiah  Doane,  said  :  "  Every 
man  was  his  neighbor.  His  life  was  a  service  to  those  around  him, 
and  the  wandering  outcast  and  beggar  he  never  turned  empty  away."

270  SETH  BROWN7  DOANE  (Edward,6  Noah,5  Solomon,4 
Samuel,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Dana,  Mass.,  Feb.  8,  1798  and 
died  at  Independence,  Kansas,  Feb.,  1876.  He  married  first,  at 
Lowell,  Mass.,  Oct.  5,  1823,  Meloria  Lucretia    Johnson,  who  was 


272  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

born  about  1808  and  died  at  Orion,  111.,  Feb.  17,  1870.     Married, 
second,  at  Fort  Scott,  Kan.,  July,  1872. 

His  father  being  a  stern  old  sea  captain,  Mr.  Doane  was  brought 
up  under  strict  obedience  to  a  command.  While  a  boy  he  showed 
considerable  skill  in  the  use  of  tools,  and  his  father  allowed  him  to 
become  a  mechanic.  He  persevered  in  this  line  until  he  became  a 
builder  and  architect  in  Boston.  His  early  years  were  full  of  thrilling 
experiences.  Prompted  by  a  spirit  of  wild  adventure  and  discovery, 
he  journeyed  to  Florida,  intent  upon  reaching  the  Spanish  Fort  at 
New  Orleans.  Failing  to  make  connections  between  the  eastern  and 
western  Florida  coast,  by  stage  line,  he  struck  out  boldly  and  unat- 
tended, without  protection  of  any  kind.  To  escape  the  attacks  of 
wild  beasts,  which  abounded  in  that  section,  he  snatched  his  hours  of 
sleep  and  rest  in  the  tops  of  trees.  Losing  his  way  at  one  time,  he 
wandered  through  the  forests  and  was  without  food  for  four  days 
until,  hearing  the  click  of  a  woodman's  axe,  he  discovered  his  where- 
abouts. After  consultation  with  himself,  he  decided  to  return  to  the 
home  of  his  birth.  The  first  four  years  after  his  marriage  he  spent 
in  Lowell  and  Boston,  Mass.,  and  in  Albany  and  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  fol- 
lowing the  business  of  an  architect  and  builder.  Still  burning  with 
a  spirit  for  western  adventure,  in  1834  he  took  his  family  consisting 
of  wife  and  four  children,  to  what  was  then  called  Fort  Dearborn, 
now  Chicago,  111.  This  was  then  only  an  Indian  trading  fort,  but 
with  the  grit  of  a  true  frontiersman  he  went  to  work  and  out  of  the 
forest  primeval  secured  logs  with  which  he  built  one,  among  the  first 
dwelling  houses  in  Chicago.  Becoming  more  favorably  impressed 
with  his  surroundings,  he  lay  claim  to  a  quarter  section  of  govern- 
ment land,  which  is  now  in  the  heart  of  Chicago.  Soon  a  settlement 
developed  and  the  city  by  the  lakes  began  to  grow.  For  the  next 
four  or  five  years  at  the  Fort  and  at  Bachelors  Grove,  a  small  settle- 
ment some  sixteen  miles  distant,  he  continued  the  work  of  a  mechanic. 
Tiring  of  the  surroundings  and  losing  faith  in  the  future  of  his 
adopted  home,  in  1839  he  sold  his  developments  and  claim,  but  his 
wife,  prompted  by  something  more  than  human  instinct,  refused  to 
sign  away  her  right,  and  thus  the  title  stands  today.  From  here  he 
moved  his  family  to  Canton,  111.,  and  subsequently  a  few  miles  dis- 
tant to  Utica,  a  small  town  on  the  Illinois  river.  A  few  years  later 
he  bought  two  hundred  and  forty  acres  of  choice  timber  land  in 
Orion  township,  to  which  he  moved  his  family,  now  increased  to  nine 
children.    Surrounding  himself  with  workshops  here  in  the  forest,  he 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.   JOHN    DOANE.  273 

became  the  master  mechanic  of  central  Illinois,  and  built  for  himself 
an  elegant  home  patterned  after  Eastern  styles  of  architecture. 
Surrounded  by  the  conveniences  of  the  time,  he  reared  his  large 
family.  After  the  death  of  his  wife,  the  spirit  of  adventure  returning, 
Mr.  Doane  in  company  with  his  son,  Seth  A.,  migrated  to  Fort  Scott 
and  invested  in  a  tract  of  land,  on  the  then  wilds  of  southeastern 
Kansas.     There  he  married  a  second  time. 

In  Feb.,  1876,  while  on  a  trip  to  Independence,  Kan.,  he  contracted 
a  severe  cold,  developing  into  pneumonia,  of  which  he  died.  He  was 
buried  in  Independence.  Such  is  the  life  sketch  of  a  true-born 
pilgrim,  a  fearless  pioneer,  a  kind  husband  and  father  and  an  honored 
citizen.

the  advice  of  his  physician  he  removed,  in  1839,  to  the  hemlock  woods 
of  Delaware  Co.,  N.  Y.,  and  settled  on  a  farm  in  Middletown.  After 
his  death  his  widow  lived  in  Lowell  and  in  Lawrence,  Mass.,  and 
finally  in  Milford,  N.  H.,  where  she  died.  Mr.  Doane  was  a  leading 
man  in  all  public  affairs  of  the  townships  in  which  he  lived.  While 
in  Alabama,  he  was  elected  sheriff  of  the  county  and  was  very  popu-

272a  ASA7  DOANE  (Edward,6  Noah,5  Solomon,4  Samuel,3 
John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Dana,  Mass.,  Mar.  28,  1805  and  died  at 
Monterey,  Steuben  Co.,  N.  Y.,  Jan.  23,  1892.  He  married  first,  at 
Lowell,  Mass.,  in  1827,  Sylvia  Hyde,  who  was  born  at  Pelham,  Mass., 
June  18,  1804  and  died  of  palsy  at  Monterey,  Jan.  3,  1874,  the 
daughter  of  James  and  Margaret  Hyde,  and  a  sister  of  Sarah 
Hyde,  who  married  his  brother,  Rufus  Doane.  Married  second,  in 
1874,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Swarthout,  a  widow,  of  Watkins,  N.  Y.  By 
her  first  marriage  she  had  a  daughter,  Ida  Swarthout. 

At  the  age  of  twenty-one,  Mr.  Doane  went  to  Brighton,  Mass., 
and  worked  as  a  butcher,  thence  to  Lowell,  Mass.,  and  worked  in  a 
woollen  mill.  Sometime  after  marriage,  he  moved  from  Lowell  to 
Petersham,  Mass.,  and  bought  a  farm  of  forty-six  acres  about  one 
and  one-half  miles  south  of  the  village.  In  Sept.,  1837,  he  sold  his 
Petersham  property,  and  removed  to  Monterey  and  settled  on  a  farm 
of  ninety -six  acres,  which  his  brother  Rufus  had  purchased  for  him 
in  the  north  part  of  the  town,  since  called  "  Doane's  Hill."  With 
his  wife  he  returned  to  Petersham  on  a  visit  in  1883,  after  an  ab- 
sence of  forty-six  years.

273  RUFUS7  DOANE  (Edward,6  Noah,5  Solomon,4  Samuel,3 
John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Dana,  Mass.,  Feb.  10,  1807  and  died  at 
Monterey,  N.  Y.,  Feb.  10,1878  (gravestone,  Monterey).  He  married 
Oct.  13, 1836,  Sarah  Hyde,  who  was  bom  at  Pelham,  Mass.,  Apr.  18, 
1812  and  died  at  Monterey,  Jan.  15, 1894  (gravestone,  Monterey)  the 
daughter  of  James  and  Margaret  Hyde,  and  a  sister  of  Sylvia  Hyde, 
who  married  his  brother  Asa  Doane  (272a).  Mr.  Doane  was  in  charge 
of  the  poor  farm  at  Petersham  for  some  years,  later  was  in  the  meat 
business  in  Lowell,  Mass.  In  1835  he  went  to  Illinois  and  bought 
some  prairie  land,  but  soon  returned  to  Monterey,  then  Mead's  Creek, 
where  he  purchased  fifty  acres  of  land  three  quarters  of  a  mile  west 
of  the  village.  He  then  went  to  Massachusetts  and  married  as  above 
noted.  They  returned  to  Monterey  and  began  housekeeping  in  a  log 
house.  In  Sept.,  1837,  they  were  joined  there  by  his  brother  Edward 
and  family,  and  in  June,  1838,  by  his  father  and  mother.  In  1839 
he  bought  one  hundred  acres  of  timber  land  adjoining  his  farm.  He 
kept  stock,  raised  grain,  was  in  the  lumber  and  shingle  business  and 
accumulated  a  fortune.  His  health  failing,  he  sold  his  farm  in  1853 
and  bought  a  house  and  seventeen  acres  on  the  outskirts  of  Monterey, 
which  they  occupied  ten  years.  Later  he  sold  this  place  and  bought 
a  house  and  lot  of  one  acre  nearer  the  village.  His  wife  joined  the 
Baptist  church  when  a  young  woman.  He  united  with  the  Baptist 
church  at  Monterey  about  1845.  They  gave  liberally  of  their  means 
to  the  support  of  that  church.  He  willed  his  house  and  lot  to  the 
Baptist  society  for  a  parsonage  to  be  theirs  on  the  death  of  his  wife. 
She  in  turn  willed  one  thousand  dollars  to  the  society  for  a  permanent 
fund,  the  interest  of  which  to  be  applied  to  the  pastor's  salary.  At 
the  age  of  thirteen  Mr.  Doane  contracted  a  fever  which  settled  in  his

arm  between  the  elbow  and  shoulder,  in  consequence  of  which  his  arm 
ever  after  was  partially  helpless.  He  died  of  cancer  which  began  to 
develop  one  and  a  half  years  before  his  death.     No  children. 

274  JOHN  B.7  DOANE  (Edward,6  Noah,5  Solomon,4  Samuel,3 
John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Dana,  Mass.,  Aug.  1,  1813  and  died  at 
Hinsdale,  Du  Page  Co.,  111.,  Jan.  29,  1900.      He  married,  first,  at 

Milwaukee,  Wis., .      Married  second,  in  Chicago,  111.,  June  6, 

1874,  Sarah  Pritchard,  who  was  born  at  Booneville,  N.  Y.,  Feb.  17, 
1845,  the  daughter  of  William  and  Mary  (Williams)  Pritchard,  who 
were  natives  of  Wales,  Great  Britain. 

Mr.  Doane  left  home  when  about  eighteen  years  old,  went  to  Boston 
and  shipped  as  a  sailor  on  a  merchant  vessel  bound  for  France.     He 
worked  his  way  up  until  he  was  captain  in  the  merchant  marine,  at 
the  age  of  twenty- two.     He  later  went  to  Galena,  111.,  worked  in  the 
lead  mines  a  number  of  years  and  speculated  to  some  extent,  buying 
pork  and  farm  produce  from  the  settlers  of  the  then  Territory  of  Iowa, 
and  shipping  them  East.    From  there  he  went  to  Wisconsin  and  bought 
a  farm  four  miles  west  of  Milwaukee.     He  sold  his  Milwaukee  prop- 
erty, went  to  Davenport,  Iowa,  and  engaged  in  a  mercantile  business 
for  a  while,  then  graduated  from  two  medical  colleges— Eclectic  and 
Allopathic— and  for  many  years  was  a  successful  practitioner  of  med- 
icine in  Chicago,  where  he  accumulated  considerable  property.      He 
sold  out  in  Chicago  and  bought  a  large  tract  of  land  in  the  north- 
western part  of  Indiana,  where  he  helped  to  build  up  a  small  village 
and  was  at  the  head  of  various  business  enterprises.     This  property 
he  sold  about  1881   or  2,  and  purchased  a  home  for  his  old  age  at 
Hinsdale,  seventeen  miles  west  of  Chicago.      Mr.  Doane  was  a  man 
of  versatile  genius,  of  great  energy,  of  business  enterprise  and  of  the 
strictest  integrity.  He  was  a  curious  investigator  in  realms  of  nature 
and  philosophy  and  for  many  years  was  a  member  of  a  literary  soci- 
ety in  Chicago,  where  his  memory  is  one  of  the  choicest  among  the 
older  prominent  men.     His  widow  resides  at  Hinsdale.

278  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

275  LEANDER7  DOANE  (Edward,6  Noah,5  Solomon,4  Samuel,3 
John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Petersham,  Mass.,  Oct.  31, 1819  and  died 
of  small-pox  at  Lowell,  Mass.,  Apr.  1, 1845 (gravestone  in  Lot  3,  20th 
Range,  2nd  cemetery,  Lowell).  He  married  at  Effingham,  N.  H.,  in 
1840,  Betsey  Weare  Lord,  who  was  born  at  Parsonfield,  Me.,  Mar. 
3, 1811,  the  daughter  of  George  and  Patience  (Hobbs)  Lord.  She 
survived  him  and  married  second,  at  Lowell,  Apr.  23,  1850,  Amos 
W.  Dutton,  a  cooper  of  Chelmsford,  Mass.,  the  son  of  David  and 
Hannah  Dutton. 

When  a  young  man,  Mr  Doane  shipped  as  a  sailor  on  a  whaling 
ship,  bound  for  the  North  Pacific  Ocean,  on  a  three  years'  voyage. 
On  arrival  at  the  Sandwich  Islands  he,  with  some  others  of  the  crew, 
ran  away  from  the  vessel  into  the  interior  of  one  of  the  islands  to  es- 
cape the  brutal  treatment  of  their  captain,  but  in  three  days  they  were 
discovered,  taken  back  to  the  ship  and  severely  whipped  with  a  cat- 
o'-nine-tails.  After  two  years  in  the  North  Pacific  they  returned 
home,  when  the  captain  was  heavily  fined  for  his  brutal  usage  of  the 
crew.  He  then  married  and  went  to  Delaware  Co.,  N.Y.,  to  engage 
in  farming  and  the  lumbering  business  with  his  brother  Zenas  (271). 
After  the  death  of  his  brother,  in  1844,  he  returned  to  Lowell.

276  LEONARD7  DOANE  (Samuel,6  Nehemiah,5  Solomon,4 
Samuel,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Eastham,  Mass.,  Nov.  6,  1798 
and  died  at  Dana,  Mass.,  Aug.  14,  1868.  He  married  July  20,  1819, 
Harriet  White,  who  was  born  at  Dana,  Sept.  6,  1801  and  died  there 
Oct.  4,  1890,  the  daughter  of  Stephen  and  Abigail  (Hudson)  White. 

Leonard  Doane  was  a  member  of  the  family  of  John  Pike,  his  step- 
father, who,  fleeing  the  persecutions  of  the  British  sailors,  left  the 
seacoast  and  settled  inland  in  that  portion  of  S.  Petersham,  now  a  part 
of  Dana.  The  influence  of  his  early  life  led  him  to  become  a  seaman, 
and  his  first  voyage  was  on  a  fishing  vessel  to  the  Banks.  After  that 
he  was  a  sailor  to  South  Atlantic  and  West  India  ports,  to  England 
and  France,  and  advanced  until  he  became  "skipper  of  a  coaster." 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  279 

He  always  had  a  fondness  for  the  sea,  and  in  later  life  loved  to  recall 
the  exciting  and  dangerous  adventures  of  earlier  clays. 

In  those  days,  conveyance  by  coach  between  Boston  and  Dana, 
was  irregular  and  uncertain,  so  that  Mr.  Doane  frequently  made  the 
journey  on  foot,  thus  saving  time  and  money.  On  one  occasion  com- 
ing into  port  too  late  for  the  Dana  coach,  he  set  out  for  Dana  on 
foot.  Though  ill  with  the  measles  he  reached  home,  but  so  tedious 
were  the  hardships  endured  on  the  way,  he  never  afterward  repeated 
the  journey. 

After  leaving  the  sea,  he  engaged  in  business  with  his  step-father, 
Mr.  Goodyear  and  others,  when  in  an  attempt  to  place  rubber  upon 
cloth,  he  lost  the  property  he  had  acquired  by  hard  work  and  frugal- 
ity. The  enterprise  led  him  to  New  York,  Providence  and  other 
cities,  but  he  finally  settled  in  Dana,  and  for  many  years  manufac- 
tured palm-leaf  hats.  He  was  a  man  of  visions,  and  as  in  business 
he  saw  possibilities  above  discouragements,  so  in  public  affairs  he 
saw  through  clouds  of  darkness  the  brightness  of  grand  results.  He 
was  a  Prohibitionist  and  worked  for  the  enforcement  of  the  State 
Prohibitory  Law.  He  was  not  aggressive,  believing  rather  in  moral 
suasion  than  in  force,  and  opposed  the  liquor  traffic,  not  the  men. 
His  genial  nature,  quaint  humor,  and  evident  purity  of  motive,  dis- 
armed enmity  aud  won  friends  even  of  those  whose  business  he 
helped  to  destroy.  At  one  time  a  young  hotel-keeper  was  prosecuted 
for  illegal  liquor  selling.  The  evidence  against  him  was  conclusive, 
but  in  view  of  his  having  a  wife  and  little  children  to  support  it  was 
suggested  that  two  well-known  temperance  men  of  the  town  should 
go  to  Worcester  and  vouch  for  the  young  man's  future  behavior. 
Mr.  Doane  was  one  of  the  men  chosen.  He  hardly  liked  the  mission, 
but  from  kindness  of  heart  did  not  refuse,  and  later  events  proved 
he  never  regretted  his  humanity. 

He  was  a  reader,  and  a  thinker,  and  a  leader  if  need  be,  an  Aboli- 
tionist, a  member  of  the  Free  Soil  party  and  a  lifelong  Republican 
rejoicing  in  the  freedom  of  tbe  slave.  As  a  Free  Soiler  he  repre- 
sented his  town  in  the  Legislature  in  1851.  That  was  a  year  of  great 
excitement.  The  slave  Simms  fled  to  Boston  and  was  returned  to 
his  former  owner  under  the  Fugitive  Slave  Law.  While  he  was  con- 
fined in  Boston  and  awaiting  trial,  ropes  were  fastened  around  the 
Court  House  to  hold  back  the  excited  crowds,  and  from  the  steps 
Wendell  Phillips  harangued  the  people,  greatly  impressing  Mr. 
Doane  with  abolition  sentiments. 


280  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

A  true  son  of  Pilgrim  sires,  with  broad  views,  a  persistent  and 
determined  though  gentle  spirit,  he  made  his  work  for  the  public 
good,  permanent  and  enduring,  and  for  himself,  a  reputation  for 
steadfastness  and  integrity.  In  religion  he  was  a  Universalist.  He 
believed  in  the  Bible  as  a  divine  revelation,  in  Jesus  Christ  as  a 
divine  manifestation,  in  repentance  and  regeneration  and  that  God's 
mercy  reaches  beyond  the  grave.

285  WILLIAM  COLES7  DOANE  (David,6  Joseph,5  Solomon,4 
Samuel,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Shawangunk,  Ulster  Co.,  N.  Y., 
July  17,  1826.  He  married  at  Union,  Broome  Co.,  N.  Y.,  July  12, 
1848,  Mary  E.  Keeler,  the  daughter  of  Lewis  W.  and  Mary  (Rogers) 
Keeler.     Mr.  Doane  has  resided  in  William  sport,  Pa.,  Washington, 

D.  C,  Union,  Syracuse,  Binghamton,  and  Elmira,  N.  Y.,  his  present 
place  of  residence.  He  studied  medicine  with  Dr.  Houghton  of 
Orange  Co.,  N.  Y.,  graduated  from  a  medical  school  at  Castleton, 
Vt.,  in  June  1847,  and,  in  September  of  that  year,  commenced  the 
practice  of  medicine  in  Union. 

In  1855  he  was  nominated  and,  after  a  hotly  contested  canvass,  was 
elected  clerk  of  Broome  Co.  The  first  Republican  organization  of 
that  county  was  effected  by  Dr.  Doane  in  Sept.,  1855. 

When  Mr.  Lincoln  was  President  Dr.  Doane  accepted  a  place  as 
Examiner  in  the  United  States  Patent  Office,  and  during  the  war  was 
always  ready  to  do  any  service  that  the  country  demanded  of  him. 
In  1862,  at  the  request  of  President  Lincoln,  he  went  into  the 
State  of  New  York  to  hold  war  meetings  and  enlist  men  for  the  army. 
He  spoke  almost  every  day  from  June  till  November,  during  which 
time  the  enlistments  at  his  meetings  were  so  numerous,  that  Hon. 

E.  D.  Morgan,  Governor  of  the  State,  publicly  acknowledged  his 
services,  and  took  occasion  to  say :  "  His  work  has  been  of  inesti- 
mable value  to  the  country,  for  which  he  is  justly  entitled  to  the 
gratitude  of  all  patriotic  and  loyal  citizens." 

After  the  death  of  President  Lincoln,  Dr.  Doane  refused  to  submit 
to  the  Johnson  policy,  resigned  his  place  in  the  Patent  Office  and 
went  to  Williamsport,  Pa.,  where  he  soon  obtained  a  large  practice. 

At  the  request  of  various  Republican  committees  Dr.  Doane  has 
frequently  left  his  practice,  at  a  great  sacrifice,  and  has  thrown  himself 
with  all  his  might  into  almost  every  campaign  since  1856.  He  has 
spoken  with  great  favor  in  almost  every  northern  state  of  the  Union, 
and  his  well  known  abilities  as  a  Republican  orator  have  been  greatly 
appreciated  by  the  party  he  represents.

Hon.  John  Doane  was  educated  at  Sandwich  Academy  and  at 
Bridgewater,  Mass.  He  studied  law  with  John  Reed,  and  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  bar  in  Barnstable,  about  1818,  and  practised  for  more 
than  half  a  century.  He  was  a  Representative  to  the  Legislature  and 
in  1830  was  first  elected  State  Senator,  in  which  office  he  served  three 
terms  with  dignity  and  ability.  He  was  at  one  time  a  member  of  the 
Governor's  council.  In  1850  and  again  in  1853  he  was  elected  county 
commissioner.  He  lived  to  a  ripe  old  age  in  the  enjoyment  of  a  rare 
social  position,  respected  by  all  who  knew  him.  Upon  the  town  in 
which  he  lived,  and  upon  the  public  whose  interests  he  sought  to 
serve,  he  made  a  lasting  impression  as  an  honest  and  sound  counselor, 
who  in  all  his  professional  career  advised  settlements,  compromises 
and  concessions  instead  of  litigations  in  the  courts.  He  was  famil- 
iarly known  all  over  the  Cape  as  "  Squire  Doane."  He  was  a  friend 
to  young  men  seeking  to  obtain  an  education.      He  was  one  of  the

318  RUSSELL7  DOANE  (Myrick,6  Isaiah,5  Simeon,4  Samuel,3 
John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Eastham,  Mass.,  Nov.  29,  1801  and  died 
in  Brooklyn  ( Williamsburgh) ,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  26,  1877.  He  married  at 
Eastham  in  1831,  by  Rev.  Philander  Shaw,  Martha  Crosby,  who  was 
born  at  Brewster,  Mass,  Nov.  20,  1805  and  died  at  Brooklyn,  Mar.  3, 
1882,  the  daughter  of  Thomas  and  Patty  (Rogers)  Crosby,  and  a 
sister  of  Caroline  Crosby,  who  married  Noah  Doane  (267). 

Captain  Russell  Doane  who  died  at  his^residence  22  Meserole  street,  last 
evening  (Oct.  26,  1877)  from  the  bursting  of  an  internal  abscess  and  hem- 
orrhage resulting  therefrom,  was  one  of  the  old  citizens  of  Williamsburgh. 
He  was  a  native  of  Massachusetts,  of  Pilgrim  ancestry,  being  a  lineal  de- 
scendant of  Dea.  John  Doane,  who  came  to  this  country  early,  and  who  in 
company  with  Gov.  Thomas  Prince  and  five  others  was  delegated  by  the 
Plymouth  Colony  to  found  the  town  of  Eastham  on  Cape  Cod. 

The  subject  of  this  notice  was  born  in  Eastham  in  1801  and  following  the 
bent  of  his  inclination  and  the  tendency  of  the  locality  in  which  he  lived, 
adopted  a  seafaring  life,  and  at  the  age  of  eleven  years  embarked  on  his  first 
voyage.  From  this  time  forth  he  steadily  followed  the  sea,  rising  through 
successive  grades  to  that  of  Captain,  which  he  attained  during  his  twenty- 
sixth  year  and  kept  throughout  the  remainder  of  his  business  life.  His 
longest  service  was  with  the  late  firm  of  Dunham  &  Dimond,  ship  owners 
of  New  York,  in  whose  employ  he  sailed  for  many  years  and  by  whom  he 
was  held  in  the  highest  estimation.  In  the  year  1851  he  moved  his  family 
to  Williamsburgh,  building  a  house  at  what  was  known  as  No.  10  Meserole 
street,  now  No.  20.  Here  and  in  the  adjoining  house  built  later  he  has 
resided  since,  with  the  exception  of  a  short  time  spent  on  a  farm  in  New 
Jersey,  which  he  purchased  with  the  idea  of  retiring  from  the  sea,  but  which 
he  soon  gave  up  to  follow  the  old  and  to  him  more  seductive  calling.  Lat- 
terly he  has  been  incapacitated  from  active  exercise  by  reason  of  his  age

319  HEMAN7  DOANE  (Heman,6  Isaiah,5  Simeon,4  Samuel,3 
John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Eastham,  Mass.,  Nov.  25,  1808  and  died 
there  Mar.  24,  1891.  Unmarried.  Mr.  Doane  was  a  well  known 
resident  of  the  Cape,  and  was  an  intelligent,  patriotic  citizen.  He 
served  his  town  as  clerk  and  treasurer  from  1849  till  his  death.  He 
was  the  author  of  several  historical  papers  and  wrote  a  number  of 
metrical  compositions,  a  few  of  which  have  been  published,  and  which 
express  a  degree  of  poetic  fancy  and  facility  of  expression. 

Until  a  few  years  ago  an  old  pear  tree  was  standing  on  the  Gov- 
ernor Prince  farm  at  Eastham,  said  to  have  been  planted  there  by 
the  Governor  himself.  To  this  tree  the  following  lines  were  ad- 
dressed by  Mr.  Heman  Doane : 

"  Two  hundred  years  have  on  the  wings  of  time 

Passed  with  their  joys  and  woes  since  thou,  old  Tree, 

Put  forth  thy  first  leaves  in  this  foreign  clime, 

Transplanted  from  the  soil  beyond  the  sea, 

Whence  did  our  pious  Pilgrim  Fathers  come 

To  found  an  empire  in  this  Western  land, 

Where  they  and  theirs  might  find  a  peaceful  home, 

A  safe  retreat  from  persecution's  hand. 

That  exiled  band  long  since  have  passed  away, 

And  still,  old  Tree!  thou  standest  in  the  place 

Where  Prince's  hand  did  plant  thee  in  his  day, 

An  undesigned  memorial  of  his  race 

And  time  of  those  our  honored  fathers,  when 

They  came  from  Plymouth  o'er  and  settled  here— 

Doane,  Higgins,  Snow  and  other  worthy  men, 

Whose  names  their  sons  remember  to  revere. 

Full  many  a  summer's  breeze  and  wintry  blast 

Through  those  majestic  boughs  have  waved  and  sighed, 

While  centuries  with  their  burdens  by  have  passed 

And  generations  have  been  born  and  died. 

And  many  a  sister  tree  has  had  its  birth, 

Performed  its  labors  and  fulfilled  its  day, 

And  mighty  Kings  and  Kingdoms  of  the  earth 

Have  lived  and  flourished,  died  and  passed  away. 

There  didst  thou  stand  in  times  of  bloody  strife, 

The  youthful  days  of  Boston's  famous  tree, 


304  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

And  where  our  patriot  fathers  sold  their  lives 

To  buy  their  Country's  glorious  liberty. 

Old  time  has  thinned  thy  boughs,  Old  Pilgrim  Tree ! 

And  bowed  thee  with  the  weight  of  many  years ; 

Yet,  'mid  the  frosts  of  age,  thy  bloom  we  see 

And  yearly  still  thy  mellow  fruit  appears. 

Venerable  emblem  of  our  sires  of  yore ! 

Like  them  thou  hast  performed  life's  labors  well, 

And  when  like  them  thy  days  are  passed  and  o'er, 

These  lines  may  help  thy  lengthened  stories  tell." 


THE  OLD  SOUTH  MEETING  HOUSE. 

A  Reminiscence  of  the  old  Congregational  Meeting-house  in  Eastham,  Mass. 
Erected  in  1719.     Demolished  in  1827. 

By  Heman  Doane. 

The  Old  South  Meeting-house,  time-worn  and  gray, 
That  stood  fronting  east  by  the  "  King's  highway 
That  goeth  to  Billingsgate  " — so  runs  the  phrase 
In  the  quaint  old  records  of  olden  clays. 

Five  score  and  nine  years  that  old  house  stood, 
And  saw  many  days  of  both  evil  and  good; 
Reared  by  the  fathers,  who  long  gathered  there, 
To  keep  Sabbath  time  in  praise  and  in  prayer. 

I  remember  it  well— its  outside  look ; 

I  remember  its  inside,  too,  "like  a  book:" 

The  broad  aisle  from  doorway  to  pulpit  that  led, 

With  its  eight-square  sounding  board  overhead. 

The  side  aisles  running  with  the  walls  parallel, 
And  the  great  box-pews,  that  were  always  filled  well ; 
With  free  seats  in  front,  for  old  women  and  men — 
They  had  no  church  aristocracy  then — 

Where  sat  the  old  fathers  and  mothers  so  near 
The  pulpit  that  they  the  better  might  hear ; 
While  in  their  snug  sanctum  the  grave  deacons  sat 
Beneath  the  high  pulpit,  on  this  side  and  that. 

Look  up,  now,  and  see  that  long  rowed  choir, 
That  "  sounded  and  sang,"  with  voices  raised  higher 
Than  many  church  singers  ventured  to  go, 
Who  sing  only  tunes  that  are  set  pretty  low. 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  305 

They  sang  the  loved  tunes  of  those  ancient  days, 
That  swelled  both  the  voice  and  the  heart  with  praise, 
And  they  made  the  walls  of  the  old  church  ring 
Without  the  aid  of  pipe,  reed  or  string. 

That  gallery  see,  filled  with  sober  young  men ! 
They  did  not  go  to  church  for  frolic  then— 
Their  hats  in  the  spokes  of  the  rails  in  a  row, 
And  all  is  in  order,  above  and  below. 

Youth,  manhood  and  age  sit  reverently  there, 
Or  stand  with  bowed  heads  in  time  of  prayer : 
The  upturned  seats,  too,  were  worshippers  then 
And  clattered  applause  at  every  "  Amen." 

Alas !  what  changes  have  since  come  o'er 
Church,  priest  and  people  we  see  no  more ! 
Oh !  sad  is  the  thought— but,  as  mortals,  we  know 
Mutation  is  written  on  all  things  below. 

All  gone !  that  old  Congregational  band, 
Save  here  and  there  one,  to  the  Spirit  Land ; 
And  their  mouldering  forms  are  sleeping  near 
Where  the  old  church  stood  so  many  a  year. 

When  I  pass  their  low  graves,  methinksthey  seem 
To  rise  from  their  beds  in  my  noon-time  dream, 
And  I  see  them  again  sitting  orderly  there, 
In  that  ancient  house  of  praise  and  prayer. 

0  blessed  old  days,  ye  shall  ne'er  be  forgot ! 
The  memories  that  cling  to  that  hallowed  spot 
Shall  be  green  like  David's,  whereof  he  told 
When  he  said,  "  I  remember  the  days  of  old." 

1  have  seen  splendid  temples  with  lofty,  proud  steeple, 
With  soft-cushioned  seats  filled  with  fashion-clad  people  ; 
But  none  on  the  tablet  of  memory  will  stay 

Like  that  old  gray  church  by  the  "  King's  Highway.  "

326  ELISHA7  DOANE  (Elisha,6  Elisha,5  Jonathan,4  Dr.  David,3 
John,2  John1)  was  bora  at  Brookfield,  Mass.,  June  28,  1795  and 
died  at  Boca,  Cal.,  Dec.  18,  1871.  He  married  at  Lyme,  O.,  Jan. 
15,  1822,  Chloe  Miller,  who  was  bom  at  Lee,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  3,  1803 
and  died  Dec.  25,  1897,  the  daughter  of  Don  Miller,  of  Huron  Co., 
Ohio. 

In  1801  Mr.  Doane  went  with  his  parents  from  Brookfield  to 
Calais,  Vt.,  thence  in  1811  to  Cayuga  Co.,  N.  Y.  He  was  the  eldest 
son  of  a  large  family  of  children,  and  his  father  being  in  moderate 
circumstances  Elisha's  advantages  for  education  were  limited.  His 
desire  for  knowledge,  however,  prompted  him  to  hard  study  when 
not  engaged  in  manual  labor  for  his  father,  so  that,  at  the  age  of 
eighteen,  he  had  acquired  in  all  the  common  branches  a  good  educa- 
tion, and  in  mathematics  was  hardly  excelled.  He  early  acquired  the 
profession  of  surveying  and  civil  engineering  in  which  he  was  very 
proficient.  This  proved  to  be  of  great  advantage  to  his  neighbors,  as 
well  as  to  himself,  in  after  life,  in  what  was  then  considered  the  far 
West.  He  also  learned  the  trade  of  stone  cutting.  He  served  in 
the  War  of  1812,  was  at  the  burning  of  Buffalo,  and  was  also  in  the 
Black  Hawk  war.  In  1818  he  moved  to  Ohio,  and  settled  in  Sherman, 
Huron  Co.,  where  he  became  acquainted  with  the  family  of  General 
Sherman. 

He  took  the  contract  for,  and  built  two  locks  in  the  Ohio  Canal,

eighteen  miles  from  Cleveland.  In  1829  he  moved  to  Michigan  and 
was  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Kalamazoo  Co.  He  located  a  farm 
on  the  Prairie  Eoad  near  the  city  of  Schoolcraft.  In  farming  he  was 
very  successful,  raising  an  abundance  of  grain  and  vegetables  of  all 
kinds,  which  were  generally  given  to  aid  destitute  immigrants  seeking 
homes  in  that  wild  and  unsettled  country.  Here  he  built  saw  mills 
and  manufactured  lumber,  on  what  was  known  as  the  Indian  Reser- 
vation in  the  town  of  Brady.  He  also  cut  the  first  set  of  burrs  for 
grinding  grain  that  was  ever  used  in  the  county.  In  1843  he  moved 
to  St.  Joseph  Co.  and  located  in  what  is  now  the  city  of  Mendon. 
Here  he  erected  two  saw  mills,  the  largest  and  most  substantial  in 
the  state.  He  also  engaged  in  making  potash,  put  up  carding 
works,  and  had  a  very  extensive  store  of  dry  goods  and  grocer- 
ies. His  love  of  a  pioneer  life  took  him  to  California  in  1850.  He 
returned  the  same  year  via  Central  America.  An  account  of  his 
travels  and  observations  was  published  in  the  New  York  Tribune  in 
Jan.,  1851.  He  returned  to  California  the  same  year  and  engaged 
in  the  lumber  business  in  San  Jose  redwoods.  In  1854  his  family 
joined  him  in  California,  after  which  he  retired  from  business,  living 
most  of  the  time  in  El  Dorado,  Placer  and  Nevada  counties.  His  ability 
and  opportunities  would  have  made  him  one  of  the  moneyed  men  of 
the  country,  had  not  his  generous  nature  enabled  him  to  feel  and 
practise  the  truth  that  "it  is  more  blessed  to  give  than  to  receive." 
Whatever  his  own  necessities  might  be  he  never  oppressed  his  credi- 
tors, and  the  needy  were  never  sent  uncared  for,  or  unblessed  from 
his  door.

daughter of  Sylvanus  Doane  (64).  She  was  born  at  Hampden,  Me., 
Mar.  5,  1817  and  died  at  Eastham,  July  20,  1881. 


316  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Captain  Doane  began  his  sea  life  on  a  fishing  vessel  at  the  age  of 
eleven,  but  his  enterprising  spirit  prompted  him  to  longer  voyages. 
He  soon  found  himself  under  southern  skies  in  the  coasting  trade, 
and,  by  the  time  he  was  nineteen  years  old,  we  find  him  mate  of  the 
ship  Merchant,  on  the  other  side  of  the  Atlantic.  When  he  became 
twenty-one  years  old,  he  was  Captain  Doane,  master  of  his  vessel,  in 
foreign  ports.  Returning  home  he  took  charge  of  the  brig  Agnes  in 
the  southern  trade,  and  was  master  of  the  brig  Wave,  for  several 
years  in  the  same  trade.  At  the  time  of  the  Mexican  war  Captain 
Doane  was  in  charge  of  the  brig  Chattahoochee,  running  the  blockade 
with  stores  and  ammunition  for  the  American  forces.  Immediately 
after  the  close  of  the  war  he  visited  Mexican  ports  in  the  carrying 
trade,  and  was  the  first  of  his  countrymen  to  hoist  the  American  flag 
in  a  Mexican  port  after  cessation  of  hostilities.  He  returned  home,  and 
bought  the  old  Governor  Prince  farm  in  Eastham,  but  after  two  years 
of  land  life,  he  sold  out  to  Moses  Eaton,  bought  the  brig  Vancle  and 
returned  to  the  southern  trade.  Always  on  the  watch  for  new  enter- 
prises, Captain  Doane  spied  the  drift  towards  the  Pacific  and  the  year 
'49  found  him  on  his  way  to  California  in  the  ship  Canonicus.  He  went 
into  the  mines.  In  about  two  years  he  made  up  his  mind  to  return 
home.  He  travelled  from  the  Pacific  to  the  gulf  in  an  ox  team. 
On  arriving  home  he  again  purchased  the  old  Governor  Prince  farm, 
and  there  resided  the  remainder  of  his  life.  His  farm  was  the  largest 
in  his  neighborhood.  He  was  captain  of  a  ferryboat  for  some  time 
at  East  Boston,  and  had  charge  of  a  vessel  carrying  granite  for  the 
building  of  Fort  Sumpter.  Captain  Doane  was  remarkable  all 
through  his  life  for  more  than  ordinary  health,  vigor,  enterprise  and 
industry,  and,  but  for  the  cancer  that  troubled  him  two  or  three 
years  and  finally  ended  his  days,  his  life  would  probably  have  cov- 
ered a  good  round  century.

324  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

345    GILBERT   GRISWOLD7    DOANE  (John,6  Levi,5  David,4 
David,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Pawlet,  Vt.,  Sept.  12,   1815  and 
died  at  his  home  in  Owosso,  Shiawassee  Co.,  Mich.,  Oct.  31,  1885. 
He  married  at  Mexico,  N.  Y.,  in  1845,  Lucy,  daughter  of  Franklin  P. 
and  Samantha  (Mauley)  Gilbert,  who  was  born  at  Dresden,  N.  Y. 
in  1827  and  died  at  Owosso,  Jan.   26,  1899.     Mr.  Doane  lived  in 
Pawlet  until  1832,  when  he  went  with  his  parents  to  Pulaski,  N.Y., 
Having    a   good    education   and    possessing  good  natural    abilities, 
lie   there    engaged    in  teaching,  which   occupation    he   pursued  with 
marked  success  for  a  number  of  years.     He  then  assumed  the  man- 
agement, editorially  and  otherwise,  of  the  Pulaski  Courier;  but,  after 
two  years  in  this  position,  he  entered  into  partnership  with  his  brother 
Charles  A.,   in   the  manufacture  of  paper.     Their  mill  and  every- 
thing pertaining    to  their  business  were  destroyed  by  fire,  and  the 
brother  dying  soon  afterward,  Mr.  Doane  found  himself  struggling 
against  adverse  circumstances,  to  settle  the  business  of  the  firm.     In 
the  spring  of  1848  he,  like  thousands  of  others,  turned  his  face  towards 
the  o-reat  Northwest,  and  with  his  family  settled  in  what  was  then  a 
promising  western  town,  but  which  is  now  the  city  of  Chicago.     In 
1849,  after  one  year's  residence,  in  Chicago,  he  removed  to  Michigan 
and  settled  about  three  miles  west  of  the  town  of  Owosso,  to  which 
place  his  wife's  father  had  removed  a  few  months  before.     The  first 
few  years  of  his  life  in  Michigan  were  spent  in  teaching,  but  subse- 
quently his  entire  time  and  energies  were  devoted  to  the  making  of  a 
home  for  himself  and  family  in  the  then  almost  unbroken  wilderness 
of  Michigan.     Mr.  Doane  embraced  Christianity  and  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Congregational  church  before  leaving  Vermont.    His  young- 
est daughter,  though  a  great  favorite,  he  freely  gave  to  the  great  cause 
of  foreign  missions.     In  politics  he  was  formerly  a  Whig  and  subse- 
quently a  Republican.     He  held  various  township  offices,  and  was 
clerk  at  the  headquarters  of  General  Thomas  in  1864,  '65.     As  a 
man  he  was  strictly  honest  and  upright,  public  spirited  and  especially 
alive  to  everything  pertaining  to  the  cause  of  education.     He  was 
a  pure  minded,  refined  christian  gentleman. 

His  widow  survived  him  thirteen  years,  the  last  six  of  which  she 
lived  with  her  daughter,  Mrs.  Perkins.  She  was  a  christian  from 
early  life,  and  united  with  the  First  Congregational  church  of  Owosso 
in  1873.  Though  possessed  of  a  frail  body,  and  thereby  shut  out  from 
active  church  or  social  life,  her  interest  in  local  and  public  affairs 
was  second  to  none.     She  had  a  more  than  ordinarily  active  mind,

and  her  rich  store  of  many  and  varied  facts  was  always  being  called 
upon  by  children,  grandchildren  and  friends.  She  was  a  great  lover 
of  the  beautiful,  and  the  care  and  cultivation  of  her  flowers  and  plants 
became  an  ardent  passion.  She  had  collected  a  large  number  of  curios- 
ities, stamps  and  coins  and  her  stamp  album  was  the  envy  of  many 
young  collectors.  She  was  deeply  interested  in  the  success  of  this 
genealogy,  and  I  am  indebted  to  her  for  much  information  of  the

DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  329 

In  1801  Mr.  Doane  went  with  his  father's  family  to  Cleveland,  where 
he  lived  all  of  his  life.  His  home  was  at  East  Cleveland.  He  was  an 
honest,  upright  citizen  ;  was  a  Republican  from  the  organization  of 
the  party,  though  never  actively  interested  in  political  affairs.  He 
maintained  his  faculties  to  the  last,  and  was  one  of  the  most  active 
old  men  of  his  county ;  never  used  tobacco  in  any  form,  nor  indulged 
in  ardent  spirits.  His  second  sight  came  to  him,  and  for  a  number 
of  years  before  his  death,  he  read  his  newspaper  without  the  aid  of 
spectacles.  The  Cleveland  Voice  of  Jan.  16,  1881,  published  an  in- 
teresting biographical  sketch  of  Mr.  Doane.  (See  John  Doane's  ac-

ruff, of  Morristown,  N.  J.,  and  later  of  Cleveland,  whither  they  had 
removed  in  1814.  Mr.  Doaue  is  said  to  have  been  a  most  estimable 
man  and  a  worthy  citizen  of  East  Cleveland  where  they  resided. 
After  his  death  his  widow  married  Mr.  Cornelius  Coakley.  She  was 
one  of  the  original  members  of  the  Euclid  Avenue  Congregational

Jane  Hennel,  b.  Jan.  6,  1833.  He  was  a  manufacturer  and  a 
philanthropist  and  lived  in  Cleveland.  He  attended  the  pub- 
lic schools,  the  Shaw  Academy,  and  spent  one  year  in  a  law 
office.  At  the  age  of  twenty-one  he,  with  others,  started 
for  the  gold  fields  of  California,  and  after  a  journey  of  nine 
months  reached  San  Francisco  without  a  dollar  in  his  pos- 
session. For  a  time,  he  worked  with  a  shovel  on  the  streets 
of  that  city,  to  earn  enough  money  to  take  him  to  the  mines 
and  in  a  few  months  he  joined  a  party  bound  for  the  Feather 
river.  There  he  became  a  miner,  but  after  ten  years'  labor, 
he  returned  in  18G0  to  Cleveland  poorer  than  when  he  set 
out  eleven  years  before.  In  186G  he  became  a  member  of  the 
firm  of  Harkness  &  Doane  of  Cleveland  which  supplied  crude 
petroleum  to  the  refiners.  With  this  connection  his  rise  in 
the  business  world  was  instantaneous,  and  he  became  a 
wealthy  man.  He  bought  out  Mr.  Harkness  and  pursued  the 
business  with  success  until  1873.  Mr.  Doane  was  not  a 
great  man  in  political  power  or  business  success,  but  great, 
because  his  soul  was  filled  with  love  for  God  and  man.  He 
was  great,  because  of  the  strong  religious  instinct  that 
dominated  his  character.  Unlike  most  men  he  did  not  attrib- 
ute his  success  to  his  own  talents,  but  deemed  its  fruit  a 
gift  from  God,  which  he  only  held  in  trust.     He  built  the

happy  manner,  while  the  gentle  sympathetic  mother  led  and  encour- 
aged them  in  all  right  ways.  They  lived  on  a  bank  of  the  Connecticut 
river,  and  Joseph  was  familiar  with  all  its  windings  and  wooded  banks 
near  his  home.  Here  he  learned  to  row  and  swim,  and  to  skate  in 
winter,  and  as  an  athlete  he  was  without  an  equal  among  the  boys  of 
his  acquaintance.  These  sports,  together  with  his  school  life,  contin- 
ued until  Joseph  reached  the  age  of  twelve  years.  His  father,  who 
possessed  fine  business  qualities,  owned  and  successfully  operated 
extensive  stone  quarries,  and  in  the  rugged  life  of  the  quarry  Joseph 
developed  a  good  constitution,  and  became  a  tall,  muscular,  well 
formed  man,  capable  of  extreme  endurance  and  hardship. 

In  the  winter  of  1837  Joseph,  his  brother  Isaac,  and  sister  Martha 
Spencer,  together  with  their  father  and  mother,  and  two  infants  in 
arms,  emigrated  to  Pennsylvania.  The  journey  of  three  hundred  miles 
was  accomplished  by  the  aid  of  five  yoke  of  oxen  attached  to  two  sleds , 
Joseph  acting  as  driver.  The  entire  journey  lasted  nearly  a  month. 
They  settled  in  the  wild  regions  of  Springfield,  now  Leona,  where 
they  cleared  a  tract  of  land,  which  is  now  the  home  of  Isaac's  children. 
Here,  in  a  sparsely  settled  country,  Joseph  spent  the  first  eight  years 
of  his  married  life.  He  had  bought  a  farm  and  begun  some  improve- 
ments when,  on  account  of  his  wife's  poor  health,  he  sold  out  and 
returned  to  Connecticut,  bringing  their  four  children,  and  covering 
the  distance  this  time,  with  a  span  of  good  horses.  They  settled  in 
North  Madison,  where  he  engaged  in  burning  and  transporting  char- 
coal to  New  Haven.  It  was  a  lucrative  business.  Later  he  sold  out, 
and  bought  a  twenty-five  acre  farm  on  Long  Hill,  where  he  lived  forty 
years.  Here  the  wife  and  mother  died.  She  was  a  handsome  woman, 
of  good  family  connections,  a  devoted  christian,  a  wise  mother  and 
faithful  wife.  Left  alone  with  six  young  children,  Mr.  Doane  in  the 
fall  of  1852  married  again  and  the  new  mother  came  not  only  to  care 
for  the  children  but  to  bring  financial  aid  to  the  father.  While  in 
Leona  Mr.  Doane,  with  bis  father  and  brother,  was  instrumental  in 
organizing  a  Methodist  church,  of  which  he  was  a  member,  and  a 
superintendent  of  its  Sunday  school.  Later  he  identified  himself  with 
the  Methodist  church  of  Clinton,  of  which  he  was  a  valued  member. 
He  was  a  student  of  the  Bible,  his  small  library  contained  commen- 
taries, histories  of  the  church,  biographies,  etc.,  and  for  over  forty 
years  he  had  daily  family  prayers  in  his  home.  The  precepts  and  ex- 
ample of  this  good  father  left  their  impress  on  the  character  of  the 
children,  every  one  of  whom  has  been  identified  with  some  church  and

DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  343 

coasting  trade  during  the  summer  seasons,  and  taught  school  in 
winter  for  some  twelve  years.  In  him  schools  and  educational 
matters  found  a  stanch  friend  ;  generations  of  pupils  and  scores  of 
teachers  came  under  his  wise  counsel  and  cheering  encouragement 
during  the  more  than  quarter  centuiy  he  served  his  town  on  the 
school  board.  He  was  a  Representative  in  the  Legislature  in  1851, 
1852  and  1853.  In  1858,  was  elected  Republican  Representative 
from  his  district,  which  embraced  the  towns  of  Dennis,  Harwich, 
Yarmouth  and  Chatham.  In  1860,  he  was  defeated  of  a  reelection 
by  the  late  Obed  Nickerson,  by  only  one  vote.  He  was  a  stanch 
Republican  but  never  put  party  above  principle  and  patriotism.  He 
held  the  office  of  commissioner  to  qualify  civil  officers  ;  was  a  Justice 
of  the  Peace  fifty  years,  and  a  trustee  of  the  Cape  Cod  Five  Cent 
Savings  Bank.  At  one  time  Mr.  Doane  was  interested  in  the  tow 
boat  business  in  Boston,  and  owned  the  boat  Camilla.  He  retired 
from  the  sea  in  1860  and  engaged  in  farming  and  in  the  culture 
of  cranberries.  He  was  prominent  in  educational  and  religious  work 
and  united  with  the  Congregational  church  at  Harwich  Center  in 
1836.  In  1855,  he  was  chief  among  the  organizers  of  the  Pilgrim 
church  at  Harwichport,  which  was  dedicated  on  his  thirty-ninth  birth- 
day anniversary,  and  of  which  he  was  a  faithful  and  honored  mem- 
ber until  his  death.  He  was  clerk  and  treasurer  of  his  parish  six- 
teen years ;  superintendent  of  Sunday  school  thirty  years,  and  a 
deacon  from  the  organization  of  the  church  until  his  death.  His  life 
was  beautiful  in  its  simplicity  and  purity,  a  shining  example  of  an 
upright  christian  character,  consecrated  to  all  that  was  lofty  in  motive 
and  beneficial  to  the  highest  principles,  and  is  best  illustrated  by  a 
favorite  passage  of  scripture  engraved  on  his  tombstone :  "  I  have 
kept  thy  precepts  and  thy  testimonies  :  for  all  my  ways  are  before 
thee."

373  ABIATHAR7  DOANE  (Nathaniel,6  Elisha,5  Elisha,4 
Joseph,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  at  Harwich,  Mass.,  Aug.  16, 
1820.  He  married  first,  May  23, 1845,  Abigail  Sears,  who  died  July 
20,  1855,  the  daughter  of  Edward  and  Abigail  Sears.  Married 
second,  May  3,  1856,  widow  Mercy  C.  Rogers,  who  died  in  New

whence  he  carried  a  load  of  passengers  to  Kingston,  Jamaica.  After 
the  first  voyage  he  owned  more  or  less  interest  in  the  vessels  he 
commanded,  and  for  more  than  twenty-five  years  he  sailed  on  foreign 
voyages  without  accident,  never  during  that  time  calling  on  the  un- 
derwriters for  damages.  He  was  at  Galveston,  Texas,  when  the  Con- 
federates hauled  down  the  stars  and  stripes,  and  those  on  his  vessel 
heard  the  captain's  loyal  prophecy,  "  That  flag  will  have  its  resurrec- 
tion." He  assisted  in  the  War  of  the  Rebellion,  and  among  other 
commissions  entrusted  to  him  was  the  transportation  of  the  gun 
"  Swamp  Angel,"  which,  with  the  load  of  stores  for  the  government 
forces,  he  carried  from  New  York  to  South  Carolina.  In  1847,  Capt. 
Doane  purchased  his  present  homestead  in  Harwich,  and  in  1856 
retired  from  the  sea.  Before  he  left  the  sea  he  commenced  the  cul- 
ture of  cranberries  and  eventually  ranked  among  the  successful 
growers  of  Cape  Cod.  He  was  long  interested  in  the  affairs  of  the 
town  and  commonwealth.  He  has  served  in  arbitrations,  and  was 
elected  to  the  Legislature  in  1866  and  reelected  in  1867.  He  attends 
the  Congregational  church.  His  energy  and  caution,  that  made  him 
a  successful  captain  on  the  sea,  are  his  leading  traits. — From  Deyo's 
History  of  Barnstable  County.

382  GUY  WILLIAM7  DOANE  (William,6  Prince,5  Prince,4 
Israel3,  Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  in  New  Milford,  Conn.,  Aug.  7, 
1788,  and  died  at  Circleville,  O.,  Feb.  4,  1862.  He  married  Feb.  14, 
1821,  Charlotte  Thrall,  who  died  at  Omaha,  Neb.,  June  23,  1878. 
Mr.  Doane  entered  the  Sophomore  class,  Union  College,  Schenectady, 
N.  Y.,  under  the  venerable  Dr.  Nott,  where  he  graduated  with  second 
honors  in  1813  and  received  the  college  gold  medal.  After  graduation 
he  studied  law  at  Schenectady  and  at  the  Litchfield,  Conn.,  Law 
School.  In  1815  he  went  to  the  then  small  town  of  Cinciunati,  O., 
and  entered  the  law  office  of  Judge  Este  where  he  found  the  practice 
of  law  insufficiently  remunerative  to  assure  means  of  support,  and 
removed  to  Chillicothe,  O.,  and  there  engaged  as  private  tutor  in  the 
family  of  Governor  Worthington.  From  there  he  went  in  1816  to 
Circleville,  O.,  and  entered  upon  the  practice  of  his  profession,  taking 
an  active  interest  in  the  political  controversies  of  Pickaway  Co.,  and 
aiding  in  establishing  the  Olive  Branch,  the  first  newspaper  published 
in  his  county,  of  which  he  became  editor  and  proprietor  in  1817  and 
1818.     He  served  in  the  Legislature  of  Ohio  in  1826  and  1827.     Mr. 


350  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Doane  continued  the  practice  of  law  with  marked  success  until  1844, 
when  he  became  disabled  by  the  loss  of  his  remaining  eye,  the  other 
having  been  injured  by  an  accident  when  fourteen  years  of  age.  He 
was  stricken  with  paralysis  of  the  optic  nerve  while  engaged  in 
addressing  the  jury  on  an  important  trial  and  from  which  stroke  he 
never  recovered  sight  although  treated  by  some  of  the  best  surgeons 
in  the  country.  However,  he  continued  his  interest  in  business  and 
was  in  the  habit  of  regularly  attending  the  sessions  of  court  long 
after  he  became  obliged  to  give  up  his  own  practice.  Mr.  Doane  pos- 
sessed a  high  appreciation  of  his  profession,  a  conscientious  regard 
of  the  duties  imposed  by  the  relation  of  attorney  to  client,  and  little 
apparent  regard  for  the  pecuniary  profit  derived  therefrom.  After  the 
loss  of  his  eyesight,  his  interest  in  all  affairs  of  a  public  nature  and 
in  the  political  history  of  his  country  seemed  to  increase.  He  was 
gratified  by  the  daily  attendance  of  his  wife,  who  kept  him  thoroughly 
advised  of  all  current  news,  by  a  course  of  systematic  reading  at 
certain  hours  each  day.  The  bond  of  sympathy  between  them  was 
very  great,  and  her  loving  service  continued  until  his  death.  He 
was  independent  and  outspoken ;  his  tastes  would  have  led  him  into 
literary  pursuits,  had  circumstances  permitted.  A  few  years  after 
his  death,  his  widow  went  to  Omaha,  Neb.,  and  lived  with  their  son 
George  W.  the  remainder  of  her  life.  To  them  were  born  ten  children; 
of  whom  but  five  reached  maturity.

the  company.  When  William  Smith  Doane  was  two  years  old,  his 
father  moved  his  family  from  Connecticut  to  Great  Barrington,

death  of  their  father,  the  sons,  William  Smith  and  Argillous,  set  out

long,  tedious  journey  of  six  weeks  over  hills  and  through  wilderness 
arrived  at  Marietta,  Washington  Co.,  in  Nov.,  1806.  From  Marietta 
this  little  band  of  pioneers  proceeded  up  "  Duck  Creek  "  some  twelve 
miles  north,  and  settled  on  what  was  then  called  "  Congress  Land." 
From  there  about  1819,jMr.  Doane  removed  his  family  into  the  town- 
ship of  Rome.     He  was  an  industrious  farmer  and  a  good  citizen.

pleting his  studies  with  a  course  at  Bryant  &  Stra'tton's 
Commercial  College  in  N.  Y.  city.  On  leaving  school  he  gave 
his  attention  to  agriculture,  and  his  farm  of  six  hundred 
acres  displays  the  result  of  his  progressive  management.  He 
is  especially  interested  in  dairying,  keeping  from  one  hun- 
dred to  one  hundred  and  twenty-flve  head  of  cattle.  Mr. 
Doane  has  always  been  influential  in  local  affairs,  and  his

in  the  Old  World,  having  crossed  the  Atlantic  ten  times, 
and  he  is  no  less  familiar  with  our  own  land,  as  he  has 
made  many  journeys  through  its  charming  scenery.  —From

John1)  was  born  at  Argyle,  N.  S.,  Oct.  5,  1806  and  died  of  a  fever 
at  Charlestown,  Mass.,  Oct.  12,  1851.  Rev.  Phineas  Stowe  of  the 
Baptist  Bethel,  Boston,  conducted  the  funeral  services.  Her  remains 
were  placed  at  first  in  a  tomb  in  the  old  Copps  Hill  Burial  Ground, 
but  in  the  following  May  were  interred  in  the  Bethel  Lot,  on  Ever- 
green Ave.,  Woodlawn  Cemetery,  Chelsea,  Mass.  Her  grave  is  on 
the  left  side  of  the  lot  near  the  curb-stone  and  sixteen  feet  from  the 
front  corner.  She  married  at  Yarmouth,  N.  S.,  Simeon  Bartlett 
Kinney  who  was  born  at  Yarmouth  in  1808  and  died  in  San  Francisco, 
Cal.,  June  7,  1873  (gravestone,  Masonic  cemetery,  San  Francisco) , 
the  son  of  Thomas  and  Lydia  (Bartlett)  Kinney,  and  grandson  of 
Nathan  Kinney  of  Chatham,  Mass.,  Barrington  and  Little  River, 
N.  S.  His  mother,  Lydia  Bartlett,  born  Oct.  10,  1779,  was  descended 
from  Robert  Bartlett  of  the  Ann  and  from  Richard  Warren  and  Ed- 
ward Doty  of  the  Mayflower  company.  After  marriage,  Simeon  B. 
and  Olive  Kinney  settled  on  his  father's  homestead  at  Little  River, 
where  their  two  eldest  children  were  born.  About  1832,  he  moved 
with  his  family  from  Little  River  to  St.  John,  N.  B.,  from  which  port 
he  sailed  in  command  of  large  vessels  for  many  years,  his  wife 
often  accompanying  him  on  foreign  voyages.  About  1850,  Captain 
Kinney  sailed  from  St.  John  for  San  Francisco,  his  family  removing 
soon  after  to  Charlestown,  Mass.,  and  one  year  after  their  mother's 
death  the  children  joined  their  father  in  California. 

"  Capt.  Simeon  B.  Kinney,  one  of  the  early  pioneers  of  California  died 
at  his  residence  on  Post  street  this  city,  on  Sunday  morning,  June  7th  in 
the  67th  year  of  his  age.  Capt.  Kinney  was  widely  and  favorably  known 
as  one  of  the  oldest  and  ablest  shipmasters  of  this  coast.     He  was  born

at  Yarmouth,  N.  S.,  in  the  year  1808,  and  arrived  at  this  port  in  command 
of  the  bark  Duke  of  Wellington,  from  St.  John,  N.  B.,  in  1850,  from  which 
time  to  the  present  his  name  has  been  identified  with  the  merchant  marine 
of  San  Francisco,  he  having  been  almost  constantly  and  veiy  successfully 
engaged  in  coasting  and  in  the  China  and  East  India  trade  from  this  port. 
In  addition  to  an  unusually  large  number  of  old  and  warm  friends,  to  whom 
he  was  endeared  by  years  of  association,  he  leaves  to  mourn  their  loss,  six 
sons  and  daughters,  more  than  twenty  grandchildren  and  a  number  of  great 
grandchildren,  all  of  them  residents  of  this  coast  and  nearly  all  of  these 
three  generations  of  descendants  present  to  comfort  the  last  hours  of  one 
who,  during  a  long  and  active  struggle  with  the  cares  and  trials  of  this  life, 
never  once  failed  in  his  duty  as  a  man,  and  who  died  with  a  christian's 
resignation  and  with  a  full  and  well  founded  hope  of  a  christian's  life  here- 
after."— Obituary,  San  Francisco  paper.

Rev.  A.  Martell  and  united  with  the  South  Yarmouth  Church  at  Cen-

423  WARREN  SMITH7  DOANE  (Josiah,6  Samuel  O.,5  Edmund,4 
Israel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  at  Barrington,  N.  S.,  June  16, 
1815  and  died  there  Jan.  31 ,  1893.  He  married  in  Aug.,  1840,  Sarah 
Wilson  Homer,  who  was  born  at  Barrington,  Sept.  30,  1816  and  died 
there  Dec.  10,  1889,  the  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Mary  (Wilson) 
Homer.  An  attack  of  fever  in  1871  left  her  an  invalid,  and  for 
seventeen  years  she  was  confined  to  her  bed.  She  was  converted  and 
united  with  the  Methodist  church  at  Barrington  about  1839,  and 
during  all  the  years  of  her  affliction,  her  sufferings  were  borne  with 
the  most  perfect  resignation,  patience  and  cheerfulness.  Mr.  Doane 
spent  several  years  of  his  early  manhood  upon  the  sea,  in  charge  of 
vessels.  It  was  during  this  time  that  an  accident  occurred  to  which 
he  often  referred  with  gratitude  to  an  overruling  Providence.  On  a 
voyage  to  the  West  Indies  he  sighted  a  small  boat  upon  the  ocean, 
and  found  to  his  surprise  and  joy,  that  it  contained  his  brother  Seth 
C.  and  other  persons  belonging  to  Barrington,  who  had  been  ship- 
wrecked and  whose  lives  were  in  all  probability  preserved  by  this  un- 
expected meeting.  No  man  did  more  to  build  up  Barrington  than 
Warren  Doane.  He  was  "diligent  in  business,"  persevering,  prompt 
and  reliable.  He  built  fifty- seven  vessels  in  his  shipyard  at  Barring- 
ton Head,  and  as  a  ship-builder,  was  the  means  of  giving  employment 
to  a  large  number  of  men.  He  was  a  promoter  and  director  of  the 
Barrington  Marine  Insurance  Co.,  a  promoter  and  managing  director 
of  the  Barrington  Woollen  Mill,  was  interested  in  lumbering,  and  for 
many  years  carried  on  a  large  grocery  business.  For  forty-one  years 
he  was  a  consistent  member  of  the  Methodist  church,  and  was  deeply 
interested  in  all  matters  pertaining  to  its  prosperity.  His  hand  was 
ever  open  to  the  necessities  of  the  church  and  the  poor.     It  is  said

that  he  was  never  heard  to  speak  ill  of  any  person,  and  in  a  prayer 
written  by  himself  and  found  among  his  papers  he  asks  God  to  enable 
him  at  all  times  to  discern  between  the  good  and  the  evil,  to  keep  him 
from  slander,  evil  speaking  and  covetousness.

after  their  marriage,  they  sailed  with  a  number  of  other  passengers 
in  the  brigantine  Sebim  for  the  gold  fields  of  Australia.  Their  vessel

reached  Cape  Town  where  she  was  repaired,  and  in  due  time  arrived 
at  Melbourne.  They  spent  some  years  at  the  gold  diggings  at  Ballarat, 
but  finally  returned  and  settled  down  in  Barrington.  He  was  a

ried at  Grand  Pre,  N.  S.,  by  Rev.  Thomas  Rogers,  June  23,  1881, 
Mrs.  Sadie  Allison,  daughter  of  John  and  Matilda  (Brown)  Simson, 
of  Lower  Horton,  N.  S.  Howard  Payne  Doane  was  a  clerk  for  some 
years  in  the  firm  of  A.  F.  Stoneman  &  Co.,  at  Yarmouth,  N.  S.  About 
the  year  1876  he  entered  the  Nova  Scotia  Conference  of  the  Wesleyan 
Methodist  church  as  a  probationer  and  was  admitted  to  full  member- 
ship in  1881.  After  serving  his  first  appointment  at  Country  Harbor

ferred to  the  Cross  St.  church,  Paterson,  and  had  just  begun  to 
endear  himself  to  the  people  when  consumption  began  to  make  such 
inroads  on  his  constitution  as  to  compel  his  relinquishing  active  work. 
He  then  spent  two  winters  at  Asheville,  N.  C,  preaching  in  summer 
at  Newark.  He  next  took  charge  of  the  church  at  Wadena,  Minn., 
but  ill  health  obliged  him  to  abandon  his  life  work  altogether.  In  the 
vain  hope  that  another  change  of  climate  might  prove  beneficial  he 
went  to  Albuquerque,  N.  M.,  but  soon  returned  to  Newark  only  in 
time  to  "  set  his  house  in  order." 

I  quote  the  following  from  Dr.  Charles  F.  Nettleship's  obituary  no- 
tice in  the  Wesleyan,  of  Halifax,  Dec.  14,  1898  : 

"  This  servant  of  Christ,  while  always  genial  and  courteous,  did  not  make

rapid  friendships.  Those  who  were  fortunate  enough  to  be  admitted  to  the 
'  inner  circle'  knew  that  with  him,  it  was  '  once  a  friend  always  a  friend.' 
Brother  Doane  was  conservative,  yet  progressive;  cautious,  yet  not  cap- 
tious; strongly  orthodox,  yet  tolerant;  highly  spiritual,  yet  not  fanatical. 
Unyielding  where  principle  was  concerned.  A  well-poised  character,  a  ri- 
pened life.  The  strongest  feature  of  his  life  work  was  his  unswerving  faith 
in,  and  undying  devotion  to  the  '  submerged  tenth.'  No  one  save  God  knows 
the  souls  led  to  Christ  through  his  well-mingled  socio-spiritual  methods.  It 
is  no  meaningless  tribute  to  his  character,  to  say  he  was  better  known  and 
better  loved  by  the  so  called  '  driftwood '  of  society  in  Newark  than,  per- 
haps, any  other  man,  and  many  of  the  Roman  Catholic  clergy  and  laity  held 
brother  Doane  in  the  highest  esteem."

430  WILLIAM7  DOANE  (Daniel,6  Daniel,5  Daniel,4  Daniel,3 
Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  at  Byberry,  Philadelphia  Co.,  Pa.,  1799, 
4,  20,  died  at  Troy,  Athens  Co.,  O.,  1883,  11,  21  and  was  bur- 
ied in  the  Friends  burial-ground  at  Decatur.  He  married  Jan.  24, 
1828,  Asenath  Hampton  of  Blue  Rock,  Muskingum  Co.,  O.  He 
went  with  his  parents  from  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  to  Jefferson  Co.,  O.,  in 
1820  and  from  there  in  1824  to  Meigs  township,  Muskingum  Co. 
After  his  marriage  he  settled  first  in  Bristol  township,  Morgan  Co., 
but  removed  to  Meigs  township  in  Jan.,  1836,  and  in  October  of  the 
same  year  to  Chesterfield.  In  May,  1839,  they  removed  to  Troy, 
Athens  Co.,  where  the  family  home  has  been  for  many  years. 

Mr.  Doane's  opinions  on  moral  and  political  questions  were  sin- 
gularly in  advance  of  his  time.  Always  intensely  interested  in  public 
affairs  and  yet  never  scrambling  for  office,  he  became  a  leader  of  pub- 
lic opinion  in  his  neighborhood  whose  motives  could  not  be  impugned. 
The  principles  of  human  freedom  and  the  perfect  equality  of  all  men 
before  the  law,  which  underlay  the  American  revolution,  and  were 
embodied  in  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  early  entered  his  soul, 
and  in  after  years  seemed  to  possess  his  entire  being.  He  espoused 
the  modern  antislavery  cause  at  its  beginning.  He  opened  his  door, 
in  the  town  of  Chesterfield,  in  the  winter  of  1838,  to  the  first  abolition 
lecturer  that  appeared.  An  antislavery  society  was  organized  in  his 
house.  He  became  its  first  president,  and  a  delegate  to  the  first 
county  convention  held  in  M'Connelsville.  He  afterward  became  the 
first  president  of  the  antislavery  society  organized  in  Decatur,  Wash- 
ington Co.     He  was  one  of  three  in  his  own  township  who  voted  for 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  385 

James  G.  Birney,  for  President  in  1844,  and  one  of  a  small  but  in- 
creasing number  who  voted  for  freedom  at  each  presidential  election 
till  1856,  when  the  majority  there  were  with  him.  For  thirteen  years 
prior  to  the  enactment  of  the  Fugitive  Slave  Law  he  assisted  runaway 
slaves  as  opportunity  offered.  He  was  several  times  threatened 
with  violence  because  of  his  outspoken  opposition  to  slavery,  and 
perhaps  would  have  been  mobbed  but  for  his  coolness  and  courage. 
Mr.  Doane  served  an  apprenticeship  to  the  coach-making  business  in 
Humesville,  Pa.,  but  spent  only  a  few  years  afterwards  in  a  shop. 
He  had  a  taste  for  farm  life,  and  especially  for  the  cultivation  of  fruit. 
He  had  a  vigorous  frame  and,  with  the  exception  of  a  partial  paraly- 
sis which  in  his  later  years  rendered  him  almost  helpless,  enjoyed  good 
health  most  of  his  life.  He  had  a  very  cheerful  disposition  and  his 
company  in  consequence  was  sought  by  old  and  young.  Though 
brought  up  among  the  Friends,  he  did  not  become  a  member  of  the 
society  till  about  the  year  1827.

meeting  with  no  disaster  in  the  journey  to  the  new  country  just  then 
opened  to  immigration.  Mr.  Doane  was  a  surveyor  and  bridge 
builder,  a  lifelong  student  and  teacher.  He  was  converted  when 
seventeen  years  of  age,  under  Nathan  Hunt's  ministry,  and  was  an 
esteemed  Friend,  Elder  and  Minister  for  many  years.  He  organized 
the  first  Friends  Sunday  School  in  the  West  and  was  much  employed 
by  his  society,  being  sent  a  delegate  to  Baltimore  at  the  time  of  the 
"Separation."  He  and  his  wife,  Eliza,  were  chosen  to  be  the  first 
superintendent  and  matron  of  Earlham  College,  then  known  as 
Friends  Boarding  School.  He  was  sent  West  to  inspect  the  Chero- 
kee country  at  the  time  of  their  removal  beyond  the  Mississippi. 
Mr.  Doane  was  noted  for  his  excellent  penmanship,  and  was  the 
scribe  of  the  settlement,  writing  all  the  early  marriage  certificates. 
He  is  said  to  have  been  a  man  of  peculiarly  pleasing  address,  and 
was  a  lifelong  champion  of  the  young  people.  Eliza  Carpenter,  his 
wife,  was  probably  more  esteemed  as  an  Elder  than  her  husband — 
so  calm,  serene  and  clear  was  her  judgment.  She  had  a  remarkable 
memory  and  a  well  stored  mind.  She  could  repeat  verbatim  whole 
chapters  and  even  whole  books.  Her  children  and  grandchildren 
sat  at  her  feet  and  listened  by  the  hour,  while  her  knitting-needles 
kept  time  and  tune  to  her  poems.  She  was  also  a  busy  painstaking 
housewife,  spinning  with  her  own  hands  the  fine  white  linen  in  her 
clothes  presses,  fragrant  with  the  thyme  and  the  rose  from  her  old- 
fashioned  garden.

Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  in  Blount  Co.,  Tenn.,  1795,  5,  31  and  died 
at  Westfield,  Ind.,  1860,  12,  11.  He  married,  1825,  12,  21,  Eunice 
Hadley  who  died  at  Westfield,  1880,  3,  1,  the  daughter  of  Jeremiah 
and  Ruth  Hadley.  The  same  year  of  their  marriage,  they  moved 
from  the  South  and  settled  in  the  forests  near  Mooresville,  Ind., 
where  they  lived  thirty-two  years.  In  1857,  they  removed  to  West- 
field,  Ind.,  where  they  spent  their  remaining  days.  They  were  re- 
markable for  their  integrity  and  the  conscientious  rectitude  of  then- 
lives.  They  spent  liberally  of  their  time  and  means  in  the  way  of 
hospitality,  and  in  the  interests  of  the  church  and  the  cause  of  educa- 
tion. They  were  stanch  Abolitionists  in  the  days  when  it  tried  men's 
souls  to  be  such,  and  the  oppressed  and  needy  of  whatever  race  or 
color  ever  found  with  them  that  best  of  all  aid,  help  to  help  them- 
selves. The  stone  over  their  graves  bears  the  motto  so  forcibly  ex- 
emplified in  the  lesson  of  their  lives,  "  Do  the  duty  thatlieth  nearest 
thee."

Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  in  Sevier  Co.,  Tenn.,  1801,  7,  7  and  died 
at  Independence,  Iowa,  1890,  11,6.  He  married  first,  about  1822, 
Miss  Sarah  Paschal,  who  died  in  the  spring  of  1829.  Married,  sec- 
ond, widow  Rachel  Hobson,  daughter  of  John  Reynolds,  formerly  of 
North  Carolina.  She  died  in  1876.  Joseph  Doane  moved  with  his 
parents,  when  a  lad,  to  Blount  Co.,  near  Marysville,  Tenn.,  and  from 
there  to  Orange  Co.,  Ind.,  in  1816.  He  removed  to  Morgan  Co.,  Ind., 
in  1830  and  to  Iowa  in  the  spring  of  1856,  thence  to  Hardin  Co., 
Iowa,  in  the  autumn  of  the  same  year.  His  son  Isaiah  thus  writes,  Aug. 
22,  1901  :  "My  father  was  a  farmer  by  occupation,  hard-working, 
honest  and  poor.  Had  only  such  rudimental  education  as  the  log 
school-house  of  the  pioneer  days  afforded.  He  was  a  pronounced 
Abolitionist  of  the  Garrison,  Phillips  and  Birney  type."

Doane  moved  with  his  parents  to  Morgan  Co.,  Ind.,  in  fall 
of  1830,  thence  to  Richland,  Iowa,  in  autumn  of  1854.  In 
spring  of  1856  he  removed  to  Homer,  la.,  thence  to  Webster 
City  in  1864.  In  1863  Mr.  Doane  was  appointed  County 
Judge  of  Hamilton  Co.,  la.,  and  served  in  all  six  and  one 
half  years.  He  has  served  his  county  as  auditor,  recorder 
and  supervisor.  In  1875  he  was  a  candidate  of  the  "  Liberal 
Democracy"  for  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruc- 
tion, but  was  defeated  by  Republican  majority.  In  1882  he

spent  several  years  as  a  school-teacher  and  at  one  time  was 
editor  of  a  newspaper.  Mr.  Doane  writes  :  "I  have  wor- 
ried through  a  large  amount  of  hard  work  and  managed  to 
remain  poor.  The  terminal  '  e  '  in  my  name  is  an  innovation 
of  my  own,  the  family  for  two  generations  having  written 
it  without  the  'e  ' — thus,  Doan.  When  a  lad  I  was  possessed 
of  large  and  sensitive  auricular  organs,  which  enabled  me 
to  hear  what  the  sapient  seniors  of  the  household  were  say- 
ing, even  when  they  did  not  perhaps  accord  me  credit  for 
intelligence  enough  to  comprehend  their  meaning.  It  was 
in  this  manner  that  I  learned  incidentally  that  the  family 
name  Doan  was  formerly  written  Doane,  but  that  one 
'uncle  Thomas  Doan' of  Green  Co.,  Tenn.,  who  was  a 
brother  of  my  grandfather,  and  a  writer  of  some  local  note, 
had  astutely  detected  the  superfluity  or  utter  nselessness 
of  the  terminal  e  and  had  taken  the  responsibility  to  elimi- 
nate it  from  his  autograph.  This  was  a  pointer  which  I 
never  forgot  and  I  was  for  years  chafing  under  the  con- 
sciousness that  I  was  a  Doane  without  an  e.  Hence,  when 
in  1854  I  left  the  ancestral  home  in  Indiana  to  take  up  my 
abode  among  the  herd  of  young  men  in  Iowa,  it  occurred  to 
me  that  now  was  my  opportunity  to  reassert  my  real  name, 
accordingly  I  never  wrote  my  signature  without  an  emphatic 
e  annexed,  and  to  my  surprise  my  brothers  and  sisters  fol- 
lowed my  example.  I  am  sorry  to  observe  that  my  esteemed 
cousin  Abel  is  still  worrying  along  without  the  long  tabooed 
e.  This  recalls  an  anecdote  in  my  personal  experience  while 
I  yet  sailed  under  the  bald  Doan.  When  in  attendance  at 
the  State  University,  Bloomington,  Ind.,  some  of  the  class- 
mates who  called  the  roll  at  chapel  services  uniformly  called 
out  Do — an,  making  two  syllables  and  placing  a  most  em- 
phatic accent  upon  the  second ;  and  a  refusal  to  respond  to 
such  a  perversion  of  my  good  name  cost  me  the  record  of 
'  absent '  for  one  whole  week  of  punctual  attendance."

394  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

May  27,  1799  and  died  at  Burlington,  N.  J.,  Apr.  17,  1859.  He  mar- 
ried in  Boston,  Mass.,  in  1829,  Eliza  Greene  (Callahan)  Perkins,  the 
widow  of  James  Perkins  of  Boston.  He  was  graduated  at  Union  Col- 
lege in  1818  and  entered  the  General  Theological  Seminary  with  the 
class  of  1824.  He  left  the  Seminary  in  1821  to  receive  Deacon's  or- 
ders on  Apr.  19th  of  that  year  and  served  as  an  assistant  to  Bishop 
Hobart  then  rector  of  Trinity  parish,  New  York  city.  He  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  priesthood  Aug.  6,  1823,  and  assisted  the  Rev.  George 
Upfold,  in  founding  St.  Luke's  church,  New  York ;  was  professor  of 
rhetoric  and  oratory  in  Trinity,  then  Washington  College,  in  1824-28, 
and  was  assistant  to  the  Rev.  William  Croswell  in  editing  the  Epis- 
copal Watchman  during  the  same  years.  He  was  assistant  to  the 
Rev.  Dr.  Gardner,  rector  of  Trinity  church,  Boston,  1828-30,  and 
rector  of  the  parish  1830-32.  He  was  elected  second  Bishop  of  the 
diocese  of  New  Jersey  and  was  consecrated  in  St.  Paul's  chapel,  New 
York  city,  Oct.  31,  1832,  by  Bishops  White,  Onderdonk  and  Meade. 
He  founded  St.  Mary's  Hall  at  Burlington,  the  first  effort  in  America 
"  to  educate  the  Church's  girls  in  the  Church's  way."  He  subsequently 
founded  a  school  for  boys,  which  became  Burlington  College.  He 
incurred  certain  financial  obligations  in  providing  buildings  for  those 
institutions,  which  led  to  his  being  obliged  to  assign  his  property  for 
the  benefit  of  his  creditors  and  in  1851  to  submit  to  a  presentment 
for  trial,  but  the  presentment  was  unanimously  dismissed,  the  Dioc- 
esan Convention  having  vindicated  him  before  the  trial  was  held. 
He  was  rector  of  St.  Mary's  church  at  Burlington  from  the  time  of 
assuming  the  office  of  Bishop  up  to  the  time  of  his  death,  and  Presi- 
dent of  Burlington  College,  1846-59.  He  helped  to  frame  the  first 
constitution  of  the  Domestic  and  Foreign  Missionary  Society  of  the 
church  and  was  the  first  American  Bishop  to  preach  in  the  Established 
Church  to  an  English  congregation  at  the  consecration  of  the  Parish 
church  of  Leeds,  England,  in  1841.  Bishop  Doane  received  the  de- 
cree of  S.  T.  D.  from  Union,  Trinity  and  Columbia  Colleges  in  1833, 
and  that  of  LL.D.  from  St.  John's  College,  Annapolis,  Md.,  in  1841. 
He  published  Songs  by  the  Way,  a  volume  of  poems,  in  1824,  and 
many  fugitive  poems  including  The  Wedded  Flags,  Softly  Now  the 
Light  of  Day  and  Thou  art  the  Way,  found  in  many  collections  of 
hymns.

College,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  in  1850,  but  soon  discovered 
that  his  bent  was  for  the  ministry  and  not  medicine.  After 
a  course  in  theology  he  "was  ordained  a  deacon  and  attached 
to  Grace  Church,  Newark,  N.  J.  His  active  and  investi- 
gating mind  was  yet  unsatisfied  however,  and  in  1855  he 
embraced  Catholicity  and  was  received  into  the  church  by 
Bishop  Bayley.  He  then  became  a  candidate  for  Holy 
Orders  and  after  studying  at  St.  Snlpice,  Paris,  and  at  the 
Colleigo  Pio,  Rome,  he  was  ordained  at  St.  Patrick's  Cathe- 
dral, Newark,  N.  J.,  in  1857,  and  in  that  parish  commenced 
his  priestly  career.  During  Bishop  Bayley's  administra- 
tion Father  Doane  became  the  Bishop's  secretary  and  was 
made  rector  of  the  parish  and  chancellor  of  the  diocese. 
On  the  accession  of  Bishop  Bayley  to  the  Archiepiscopate 
of  Baltimore,  Bishop  Corrigan  appointed  Father  Doane 
Vicar-General  of  the  diocese  in  1873.  In  Mar.,  1880,  he 
was  made  a  Domestic  Prelate.  Monsignor  Doane  became 
administrator  of  the  diocese  upon  Bishop  Corrigau's  eleva- 
tion to  the  Archiepiscopate  and  his  transfer  to  New  York 
as  coadjutor  to  Cardinal  McCloskey.  In  1890,  Monsignor 
Doane  paid  a  visit  to  Rome  and  upon  this  occasion  His 
Holiness  Leo  XIII  made  him  a  Prothonotary  Apostolic, 
which  not  only  gave  him  the  right  to  wear  the  purple,  but 
with  the  consent  of  the  Bishop  of  the  diocese,  the  pectoral 
cross  and  miter.  While  Monsignor  Doane  has  been  active 
in  fostering  the  institutions  of  the  church,  especially  those 
of  a  charitable  nature,  he  has  also  taken  great  interest  in 
the  affairs  of  his  country,  and  was  chaplain  during  the 
Civil  war,  receiving  his  baptism  of  fire  at  the  first  battle  of 
Bull  Run.  He  has  also  taken  great  interest  in  the  im- 
provement of  Newark.  To  him  as  much  as  to  any  other 
man  is  due  the  erection  by  the  government  of  the  public 
building  for  the  use  of  the  Post-office  department  on  Broad 
St.,  and  which  will  long  remain  as  a  memorial  to  his  ac- 
tivity and  for  which  government  employees  in  this  city  are 
thankful.  A  new  Court  House  and  City  Hall  which  he  has 
been  constantly  urging  are  to  be  built  in  Newark.  His 
agitation  in  favor  of  a  new  building  for  the  police  of  the 
second  precinct  has  also  been  crowned  with  success.  In  a 
word,  the  Monsignor  is  always  to  be  found  fighting  in  the 
cause  of  humanity.

and  settled  on  a  farm  on  Yonge  Street,  twelve  miles  west  of  New- 
market, thence  in  1818,  they  removed  to  Sharon.  Mrs.  Dunham 
knew  what  it  was  to  undergo  the  hardships  of  a  pioneer  life,  but 
lived  to  see  the  then  widerness  converted  into  well  tilled  farms.  Al- 
though in  common  with  the  early  settlers  her  education  was  some- 
what limited,  she  developed  a  talent  for  poetical  composition,  of 
which  she  wrote  a  great  deal,  and  of  no  inferior  order.

any  other  genealogical  correspondent,  for  valuable  infor- 
mation in  regard  to  the  Ontario  branches  of  our  family. 

443  CHARLES7  DOANE  (John,6  Ebenezer,5  Joseph,4  Daniel,3 
Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  on  Lot  No.  94,  Yonge  Street,  near  New-

in  1848.  Married  second,  Sept.  11,  1850,  Catherine  Eliza  Willson, 
who  was  bom  at  East  Gwillimburg,  Ontario,  Nov.  3,  1809  and  died 
at  Aurora,  Jan.  8,  1902,  the  daughter  of  John  J.  and  Mary  Willson,

The  following  obituary  notice  appeared  in  a  local  paper  soon  after 
Mr.  Doane's  death : 

One  by  one  the  old  residents  of  this  section  [Aurora]  are  passing  away, 
and  the  time  will  soon  arrive  when  there  will  not  be  one  left.  Another  was 
added  to  the  long  list  of  departed  last  Tuesday  evening  in  the  person  of  Mr. 
Charles  Doane  whose  death  occurred  somewhat  suddenly.  The  old  gentle- 
man had  been  quite  ill  for  the  past  two  or  three  months,  but  was  able  to  be 
out  until  about  three  weeks  ago  when  he  had  a  severe  attack,  since  which 
time  he  has  been  confined  to  his  bed.  The  deceased  gentleman  was  born  on 
lot  No.  94  Yonge  Street,  in  what  was  known  then  as  the  Settlement  of  the 
Society  of  Friends,  on  Nov.  6,  1808.  His  parents  were  from  Bucks  Co.,  Pa., 
and  settled  in  Canada  in  1807,  subsequently  moving  to  Sharon  in  1818.  At 
the  age  of  18  he  learned  the  trade  of  shoeraaking  supplementary  to  the  farm- 
ing experience  he  had  acquired,  and  entered  into  partnership  with  his  cousin 
Mr.  Elias  Doane,  as  merchant  and  afterwards  with  Hugh  D.  Wilson.  About 
the  year  1850  he  removed  to  this  place  [Aurora]  then  called  Machell's  Cor- 
ners, and  was  appointed  postmaster,  which  position  he  held  thirty-two  years 
or  until  1882.  At  the  time  of  his  removal  here  Toronto  was  but  an  insignif- 
icant town  containing  but  few  wholesale  houses.  On  account  of  this  Mr. 
Doane  was  in  the  habit  of  visiting  New  York  once  a  year  to  purchase  goods 
for  his  store,  in  connection  with  the  post-office.  He  had  an  intimate  knowl- 
edge of  the  different  events  which  had  marked  Canadian  history  during  the

present  century.  He  was  one  of  the  few  men  who  had  heard  the  sound  of 
cannon  which  preceded  the  capitulation  of  York  in  1812.  He  took  an  im- 
portant part  in  the  Rebellion  of  1837  for  which  he  spent  Ave  months  in  prison 
in  Toronto.  He  was,  for  many  years,  an  active  participant  in  municipal  af- 
fairs and  when  this  place  was  incorporated  as  a  village  in  1863  he  was  elected 
its  first  Reeve  which  position  he  held  also  in  1867  and  1868.  He  was  the  pro- 
moter of  the  Aurora  Cemetery  Company,  and  since  the  incorporation  of  that 
company  he  has  annually  been  elected  its  president.  For  many  years  he  had 
been  an  earnest  advocate  of  the  temperance  cause,  and  a  trustee  of  the  Meth- 
odist church  of  which  church  he  had  been  a  consistent  member  for  a  num- 
ber of  years.  The  funeral  took  place  on  Thursday  afternoon  at  the  Aurora 
cemetery.

and  died  at  Sharon,  Ontario.  He  married  1834,  12,  31,  Martha  Ann 
Brooks  and  resided  in  Sharon.  Mr.  Doane  was  a  farmer  and  a  man 
of  good  abilities.  He  was  a  natural  musician  and  for  over  thirty- 
years  was  the  leader  of  the  Sharon  Band.  He  participated  to  some 
extent  in  the  McKenzie  Rebellion  of  1837-38  ;  was  arrested  as  a 
Rebel  sympathizer  and  confined  for  several  months  in  a  prison  at  To- 
ronto, during  which  time  the  leaders,  Lount  and  Matthews,  suffered 
the  death  penalty.

The  following  extract  is  from  a  notice  of  Mr.  Doan's  death  in  the 

Newmarket  Era  : 

It  is  our  paiiiful  duty  this  week  to  record  the  death  of  Abraham  Doan,  who 
died  Dec.  20,  1892,  at  the  great  age  of  90  yrs.,  1  mo.,  11  days,  and  was  one  of 
the  oldest  pioneers  in  the  township.  He  was  born  in  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  Nov.  9, 
1802  and  was  the  eldest  son  of  the  late  Ebeuezer  and  Elizabeth  Doan,  who  em- 
igrated to  Canada  in  June,  1808.  Their  journey  here  was  accomplished  with 
great  labor  and  inconvenience.  They  came  in  wagons  with  canvas  stretched 
over  for  covering.  They  travelled  by  Bethlehem  and  over  the  Alleghany  moun- 
tains and  halted  many  times  by  the  way  to  cook  their  meals  and  camp  at 
night,  where  wood  and  water  were  convenient.  They  were  one  month  mak 
ing  the  journey  from  Bucks  Co.  to  Yonge  street,  where  Ebenezer  Doan 
bought  and  settled  on  the  farm  now  owned  by  Mr.  Charles  Webb.  About 
the  year  1820  Ebenezer  Doan  moved  from  Yonge  street  to  a  farm  about  one 
mile  north  of  Sharon  where  the  subject  of  this  sketch  lived  until  his  death. 
Iu  politics  Mr.  Doan  was  a  stanch  Liberal,  and  never  missed  polling  his 
vote  from  the  time  he  was  twenty-one  years  old  up  to  a  few  years  before  his 
death.  The  funeral  was  largely  attended,  the  Rev.  G.  McKay  of  the  Queens- 
ville  Presbyterian  church  officiating,  and  the  remains  were  interred  in 
Queensville  cemetery.

450  MOSES7  DOANE  (Moses,6  Joseph,5  Israel,4  Daniel,3 
Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  probably  in  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  1781,  1,  22 
and  died  at  Wheatland,  Monroe  Co.,  N.  Y.,  1861,  2,  5.  He  mar- 
ried, in  1808,  Mary  Comfort,  who  died  at  Wheatland,  1878,  7,  20, 
the  daughter  of  John  and  Mary  (Woolman)  Comfort  of  Falls  town- 
ship, Bucks  Co.  Moses  Doaue  was  the  only  child  of  the  outlaw 
Moses  and  Rachel  (Tomlinson)  Doane,  and  was  nearly  three  years 
old  when  his  father  was  killed  in  Halsey's  tavern.  He  lived  with 
his  uncle,  Samuel  Tomlinson,  who  gave  him  a  trade,  a  horse  and  a 
promise  that  "  he  would  do  well  by  him."  The  uncle  died,  without 
a  will,  leaving  his  promise  unfulfilled.  After  his  marriage  Mr. 
Doane  settled,  first,  in  Falls  township  where  he  purchased  a  farm  for 
twenty-five  hundred  dollars.  Yielding  to  the  persuasion  of  his  uncle, 
Joseph  Doane  the  refugee  (228),  he  migrated  to  Canada  sometime 
after  1823.  He  lived  in  Canada  only  about  one  year  when  he  re- 
turned and  settled  in  Wheatland.

454  JOEL7  DOANE  (Jonathan,6  Elijah,5  Israel,4  Daniel,3 
Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  1808,  5,  10  and  lived  for  a  number  of 
years  at  Yarmouth,  Ontario,  Canada.  He  married  Fanny  (Minard) 
Doane,  widow  of  his  brother  Joshua  Gillam  Doane  (455).  Joel 
Doane  was  one  of  the  leaders  in  the  McKenzie  Rebellion  of  1887-38, 
He  escaped  into  the  United  States,  and  finally  settled  in  California. 

455  JOSHUA  GILLAM7  DOANE  (Jonathan,6  Elijah,5  Israel,4 
Daniel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  1811,  11,  7  and  was  hanged  at 
London,  Ontario,  Can.,  Feb.  6,  1837.  He  married  Fanny  Minard. 
She  married  second  his  brother  Joel  Doane  (454) .  Mr.  Doane  was 
one  of  the  leaders  from  Yarmouth,  Ontario,  in  the  McKenzie  Rebel- 
lion. With  his  brother,  Joel,  he  fled  into  the  state  of  New  York, 
where  he  raised  a  baud  of  desperate  characters  and  invaded  Canada. 
He  was  defeated,  captured,  tried  for  treason  and  executed.  I  quote 
the  following  from  Frank  Hunt's  letter  in  the  Toronto  Globe  of  Sept. 
6,  1890. 

The  Friends  of  South  Yarmouth  had  bitter  experiences  during  the  regime 
of  the  Family  Compact,  and  some  of  the  first  settlers  departed  so  far  from 
the  faith  of  their  fathers  as  to  declare  their  intention  to  fight  if  need  be  for 


404  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

responsible  government,  and  a  son  of  Jonathan  Doan  sacrificed  his  life  for 
liberal  principles.  And  no  wonder.  The  petty  officials  who  did  the  dirty 
work  for  the  Family  Compact  took  special  delight  in  annoying  the  inoffen- 
sive Quakers  who  they  supposed  would  quietly  submit,  but  they  found  they 
were  mistaken.  The  Friends  were  warned  out  to  drill  contrary  to  all  prece- 
dent and  the  laws  of  the  realm,  and  when  they  would  not  respond  their 
houses  were  pillaged  by  the  petty  officials  who  levied  tribute,  and  proceeded 

to  help  themselves  to  the  most  useful  property  at  hand From  Mr. 

Haight  I  learned  where  rested  the  remains  of  Joshua  G.  Doan,  the  young 
patriot,  and  his  friend  the  American  Perley  who  were  executed  in  London  in 
1837  for  espousing  the  cause  of  Wm.  Lyon  McKenzie  and  the  people  of 
Canada.  Doan's  wife  and  child  were  permitted  to  see  him  for  a  few  min- 
utes before  his  execution,  and  when  the  time  was  up,  they  had  to  be  torn 
away  from  him,  and  dragged  out  of  the  cell.  It  was  a  most  heartrending 
scene.  He  died  like  a  brave  man  and  with  his  dying  breath  he  prayed  that 
the  power  of  the  Family  Compact  might  be  broken,  and  good  government 
given  to  the  people.  His  prayer  was  answered,  and  his  remains  had  hardly 
returned  to  mother  earth  before  the  Family  Compact  was  only  a  thing  of 
the  past.  Israel  Doaue  went  to  London  twice  after  the  execution  and 
requested  that  he  be  given  the  remains  of  his  brother  and  Perley,  to  be 
buried  in  the  Friends  burying-ground  at  Sparta,  but  his  request  was  not 
granted.  The  third  time  he  was  more  successful,  and  brought  their  bodies 
to  the  meeting-house  where  a  large  concourse  of  people  were  assembled. 
They  were  frantic  with  grief,  and  Doan's  brothers  walked  up  and  down  in 
front  of  the  meeting-house  refusing  to  be  comforted.  We  visited  the 
Friends  cemetery  near  by,  and,  as  I  viewed  the  neglected  erraves,  covered 
with  long  grass,  their  locality  known  to  but  few,  I  wondered  how  long  it 
would  be  before  the  people  of  Canada,  who  enjoy  the  blessing  of  responsi- 
ble government,  would  do  their  duty  to  the  memories  of  the  men  who  dared 
oppose  the  tyranny  of  the  Family  Compact,  and  were  brave  enough  to  give 

up  their  lives  for  the  sake  of  liberal  principles Yes,  I  knew  Josh 

Doan,  said  Mr.  Haight,  and  he  was  a  splendid  sample  of  a  man.  He  was 
fearless  to  a  fault,  and  being  possessed  of  a  large  sinewy  frame,  few  men 
in  the  township  cared  to  dispute  his  prowess.  He  was  openhearted  and 
always  willing  to  do  anyone  a  good  turn.  Josh  Doan  was  a  manly  fellow, 
and  there  was  great  sorrow  at  his  death. 

Several  young  men  from  Yarmouth  were  apprehended  and  taken  to  Lon- 
don, but  all  were  liberated  except  Doan,  and  many  more  escaped  to  the 
States.  They  have  passed  to  their  rewards,  and  even  those  who  were  their 
bitter  opponents  during  those  troublous  times,  admitted  befoi-e  the  grave 
closed  over  them,  that  the  cause  they  contended  for  was  a  righteous  one, 
and  that  these  colonies  received  responsible  government  more  quickly 
through  what  was  considered  the  rash  acts  of  the  patriots,  than  they  would 
have  if  everybody  had  quietly  submitted  to  the  state  of  affairs  that  existed, 
and  calmly  waited  for  tyrannical  officials  to  give  up  their  power  and  become 
more  liberal  in  their  views.

461  EDWARD  TOPPING7  DOANE  (John,6  Elisha,5  Ephraim,4 
Hezekiah,3  Ephraim,2  John1)  was  born  at  Tompkinsville,  Staten 
Island,  May  30,  1820  and  died  at  Honolulu,  Hawaiian  Islands,  May 
15,  1890.  He  married  first,  May  13,  1854,  Sarah  W.  Wilbur,  who 
died  at  Honolulu,  Feb.  16,  1862.  Married  second,  Apr.  13,  1865, 
Clara  Hale  Strong,  who  was  born  at  East  Mendon,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  4, 
1841,  the  daughter  of  Rev.  Ephraim  and  Julia  Hills  (Barnard) 
Strong.  Mr.  Doane  graduated  at  Illinois  College,  Jacksonville,  111., 
in  1848,  and  at  Union  Theological  Seminary  in  1854  ;  was  ordained 
to  the  ministry  in  New  York  city,  Feb.  26,  1854  and  embarked  at 
Boston,  on  June  4th  of  the  same  year,  a  missionary  of  the  A.  B.  C. 
F.  M.  for  Micronesia,  arriving  at  Ponape,  the  principal  island  of  the 
group,  Feb.  6,  1855.  Here  for  thirty-three  years  he  was  in  charge 
of  the  mission  station.  Circumstances  made  it  necessary  for  him  to 
be  transferred  to  the  Marshall  Islands  and  to  Japan,  but  the  people 
of  Ponape  had  his  heart  and  to  them  he  returned,  and  for  them  en- 
dured and  suffered  with  unwearied  gentleness,  courage  and  cheering 
success.  With  his  associates  the  mission  work  was  prosecuted  most 
successfully,  schools  and  churches  were  established  and  the  gospel 
was  disseminated  throughout  the  whole  group  of  Islands.  In  1887,  on 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  409 

the  arrival  of  the  Spanish  forces  to  occupy  the  islands,  an  effort  was 
made  to  oust  the  Protestant  mission  and  supplant  it  by  one  of  the 
Roman    Catholic   church.     The    mission   property  was  invaded,  its 
prints  used  as  if  they  were  common  property,  the  natives  were  intim- 
idated in  the  practice  of  the  faith  the  missionaries  had  brought  them, 
and   opposition  was  shown  on  every  hand.       For   a   remonstrance 
against  these  things  Mr.  Doane  was  arrested.     The  arrest  was  most 
unexpected.     While  at  work  fifteen  miles  from  Qua,  the  principal 
mission  station,  he  was  suddenly  confronted  by  a  lieutenant  and  a 
file  of  soldiers,  seized,  and  put  in  the  hold  of  a  ship  and  sent  as  a  pris- 
oner to  Manila,  two  thousand  miles  away.      Within  one  week  after 
his  departure,  exasperated  by  the  exactions  and  indignities  put  upon 
them  by  the  Spanish,  the  natives,  being  without  Mr.   Doane's  influ- 
ence to  restrain  them,  rushed  upon  the  fort.     The  priests  and  women 
fled  to  the  ships  but  the  governor  and  every  soul  of  his  command 
were  massacred  as  they  attempted  to  make  the  beach.     Through  the 
efforts  of  Julius  Voigt,  United  States  consul  at    Manila,  Mr.  Doane 
was  liberated  and  returned  with  apologies  to  his  station.       His  in- 
fluence throughout  the    islands  was   increased  by   what  had    trans- 
pired.    Though  his  health  declined,  he  cluug  to  his  beloved  work  till 
the  spring  of  1890,  when  he  was  conveyed  by  the  Morning  Star  to 
Honolulu,  where  in  two  weeks  he  breathed  his  last  at  the  home  of 
Rev.  Dr.  Hyde.     The  eve  before  he  died,  too   weak  to  utter  many 
words,  he  said  to  Dr.  Lowell  Smith,  "  I  am  trusting  in  Jesus."     For 
thirty-three  years,  with  two  or  three  brief  intervals  this  devoted  mis- 
sionary, hidden  away  in  the  depths  of  the  Pacific,  gave  his  life  in 
patient  service  to  the  uplifting   of  those   degraded   islanders.     He 
found  them  unclad  savages,  sullen  and  hostile.     Through  the  labors 
of   his  associates  and   himself  he  left  thousands  of  them  living  in 
sweet  christian  homes,  devout  worshippers  in  the  house  of  God.  The 
Rev.  Luther  H.  Gulick,  one  of  the  early  company  of  missionaries  on 
Ponape,  writes  : 

"Mr.  Doane  was  one  of  the  choice  spirits  of  the  missionary  world.  I 
was  on  Ponape  when  he  first  arrived  there  in  1855  and  soon  learned  to  love 
and  admire  him.  He  was  disinterestedly  attached  to  the  missionary  work 
and  his  hopefulness  was  very  marked.  His  many  domestic  afflictions  only 
served  to  make  him  the  more  spiritual  and  hopeful.  He  was  in  many  re- 
spects a  model  missionary— cheerful,  manly  and  sensible." 

In  1860,  Mr.  Doane  prepared  a  Primer  and  Hymn  Book  of  forty- 
four  pages  for  the  use  of  Marshall  Islanders,  and  in  1863  appeared  a

small  book  of  Hymns.  He  also  translated  a  portion  of  the  New  Tes- 
tament into  the  Ponapean  tongue.

472  ISAIAH7  DOANE  (Isaiah,6  Elisha,5  Elisha,4  Hezekiah,3 
Ephraim,2  John1)  was  born  in  Boston,  Mass.,  July  12,  1785  and 
died  in  New  Orleans,  La.,  May  6,  1839.  He  married  first,  in  1815, 
Maria  Dunton,  who  died  in  1822,  the  daughter  of  William  Dunton  of 
Philadelphia,  Pa.  Married,  second,  Caroline  L.  Underwood  of  St. 
Marvs,  Ga.,  who  was  born  in  June,  1808  and  died  in  New  Orleans, 
La.,  Feb.  13,  1890.  Mr.  Doane  early  developed  a  great  love  for  the 
sea,  and  as  a  young  man  made  several  East  India  voyages  and  while 
still  a  young  man  became  a  shipmaster.  He  was  commissioned  by 
President  Jefferson,  Feb.  23,  1809,  to  rank  from  June  18,  1808,  a 
Captain,  in  the  4th  Regiment  U.  S.  Infantry,  but  disliking  the  service 
he  resigned  after  one  or  two  years.  When  the  War  of  1812  broke 
out  he  entered  at  once  into  privateering.  He  was  a  prisoner  for  a 
short  time  in  British  hands,  but  was  released  and  became  1st  Lieut, 
of  the  privateer  schooner  Scourge,  fifteen  guns,  and  shortly  after  be- 
came her  commander. 

His  cruising  ground  was  the  English  Channel  and  the  North  Sea. 
He  captured  many  prizes  of  value,  among  others  two  armed  brigs, 
with  which  he  had  a  severe  engagement,  having  one  on  each  side, 
but  compelling  both  to  strike  their  colors.  He  caused  the  release  of 
over  one  hundred  American  seamen  by  exchange  for  his  captors,  and 
was  known  as  a  daring  and  intrepid  commander.  Many  of  his  prizes 
he  sent  to  Drontheim,  Norway,  where  in  Jan.,  1814,  he  was  blockaded 
and  forced  to  remain  several  months.  In  1826,  he  was  appointed 
Captain  of  the  U.  S.  Revenue  Schooner  Marion,  stationed  at  St.  Marys, 
Ga.,  and  took  up  his  residence  there.  While  in  service  he  captured  a 
large  slaver,  filled  with  slaves,  and  brought  her  into  port.  One  of  the 
slaves  —  a  b0y —  could  never  be  induced  to  leave  Captain  Doane  and 
remained  with  him  till  his  death.  In  1829,  Captain  Doane  resigned 
from  the  service  and  moved  to  New  Orleans,  where  he  resided  till 
his  death.  In  New  Orleans  he  was  made  Treasurer  of  the  second 
Municipality  and  occupied  a  prominent  position,  taking  great  interest 
in  all  public  matters.  The  papers  of  the  time  speak  of  his  death  as 
a  great  public  loss.

473  GEORGE  BARTLETT7  DOANE  (Isaiah,6  Elisha,s  Elisha,4 
Hezekiah,3  Ephraim,2  John1)  was  born  in  Boston,  Mass.,  Dec.  4, 
1792  and  died  there  Apr.  13,  1842.  He  was  a  man  of  integrity, 
kindness  and  skill  in  his  profession.  In  1808,  at  the  age  of  fifteen, 
he  was  admitted  into  Harvard  University.  In  1812  be  was  graduated, 
a  reputable  scholar,  in  a  class  that  reflected  honor  on  its  Alma  Mater. 

In  the  autumn  of  1812  he  entered  upon  the  study  of  medicine  and 
never  lost  an  opportunity  to  do  good,  serving  at  the  bedside  of  the 
sick.  He  never  flinched  from  duty  while  the  cry  of  suffering  was 
heard.  Night  after  night  did  he  keep  vigil  at  the  bedside  of  the  poor 
who  had  submitted  to  painful  and  perilous  surgical  operations.  His 
pupilage  was  filled  with  self-denial  and  continued  painful  toil. 


420  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

So  decided  had  been  his  character  as  a  faithful  medical  student  and 
an  upright  man,  that  one  of  the  best  educated  physicians  of  his  time, 
a  regimental  surgeon  to  the  militia  detachment  at  South  Boston  dur- 
ing  an  early  period  in  the  war  of  1812,  selected  and  recommended  Mr. 
Doane  for  a  commission  as  an  assistant  surgeon.  At  the  close  of  the 
year  1814,  while  yet  in  his  pupilage,  he  received  his  commission  as 
assistant  surgeon  in  the  U.  S.  Navy,  and  in  the  spring  of  1815  he 
was  ordered  to  repair  to  New  York  and  report  himself  to  Commodore 
Jones,  who  sent  him  on  board  the  Macedonia  bound  for  the  Mediter- 
ranean. On  July  2,  1815,  he  arrived  at  Gibralter  where  he  was  ap- 
pointed acting  surgeon  of  the  Constellation  until  her  arrival  at  Port 
Mahon.  This  was  the  naval  station  for  the  American  fleet,  where  a 
hospital  was  founded  to  which  Dr.  M.  Reynolds  had  been  appointed 
chief  surgeon  and  Dr.  Doane  assistant  surgeon.  For  several  months 
Dr.  Doane  had  entire  charge  of  the  establishment  and  thus  writes  in 
his  journal : 

"  I  have  been  here  more  than  three  months  entirely  alone,  the  only  re- 
sponsible person  here  and  burdened  with  everything— attending  personally  to 
every  article  of  provision,  medicine,  clothing ;  purchasing  and  expending ; 
paying  all  bills ;  examining  all  accounts  ;  and  at  the  expiration  of  every  month 
making  a  settlement  of  everything,  and  having  also  by  night  and  by  clay  the 
constant  care  of  the  sick,  to  prescribe  and  give  all  the  medicine  with  my 
own  hand.  Yet,  from  habitual  method  there  is  no  confusion,  no  irregularity. 
This  is  a  situation  which  calls  forth  and  holds  in  exercise  all  the  energies  of 
my  mind.  I  have  also  become  engaged  in  quite  an  extensive  practice  among 
the  poor,  and  as  I  attend  them  gratis  between  thirty  and  forty  children  are 
brought  to  me  daily.  They  express  much  gratitude,  and  it  is  impossible  to 
attend  on  the  poor  and  sick  without  feeling  for  them  the  sincerest  compas- 
sion.   Here  the  poor  never  beg  except  of  God,  and  of  Him  for  patience  only." 

When  Commodore  Decatur  of  Cape  de  Gatt  had  crippled  and 
conquered  the  Algerine  fleet,  Dr.  Doane  was  ordered  on  board  the 
Meeshanda,  the  flagship  of  the  enemy,  to  take  charge  of  the  wounded. 
Here  his  sympathies  were  well  tried.  The  barbarous  custom  of  in- 
flicting corporal  punishment  upon  criminals  by  the  mutilation  of  their 
limbs,  had  awakened  among  the  Algerines  a  horror  of  surgical  opera- 
tions, as  badges  of  disgrace.  These  brave  warriors  preferred  death  to 
dishonor.  Dr.  Doane  had  much  to  encounter  from  this  prejudice  and 
with  the  zeal  of  an  apostle  he  besought  their  patient  endurance  of  the 
necessary  treatment,  and  succeeded  in  disabusing  their  minds  of  their 
unnatural  prejudices.     When  his  kindness  and  skill  had  won  thein 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.         421 

back  to  the  love  of  life,  their  gratitude  was  unbounded.  They  be- 
sought him  to  accompany  them  to  Algiers  where  they  promised  him 
a  life  of  ease  which,  to  the  Algerian  mind,  was  the  summum  bonum 
of  existence. 

In  1819  Dr.  Doane  returned  to  Boston,  resigned  his  commission, 
and  the  following  year  submitted  to  an  examination  for  a  degree  as 
Doctor  of  Medicine,  after  which  he  turned  his  attention  to  a  miscel- 
laneous practice  in  Boston,  his  native  town,  and  soon  gained  the 
confidence  of  the  people.  His  well  known  good  character  had  secured 
him  the  respect  and  good  wishes  of  several  among  the  eminent  phy- 
sicians of  the  town,  and  he  was  recommended  to  his  neighbors  and 
fellow  citizens  as  a  skilful  practitioner  of  medicine  and  surgery.  On 
the  12th  of  Feb.,  1821,  he  was  unanimously  elected  physician  to  the 
Boston  Asylum  for  Indigent  Boys,  and  in  Feb.,  1827,  he  was  chosen 
one  of  the  consulting  surgeons  to  the  Massachusetts  General  Hospital. 
Such  were  the  delicacy  of  his  manners  and  devotion  to  his  cases  that 
he  early  acquired  a  large  obstetrical  practice,  and  practice  among 
children.  More  than  three  thousand  cases  of  midwifery  are  recorded 
on  his  books,  between  1820  and  his  death  in  1842. 

Dr.  Doane  never  married.  His  philanthropy,  therefore,  was  more 
diffusive  than  otherwise  it  might  have  been.  His  sisters  shared  largely 
in  their  brother's  affections,  and  participated  freely  in  the  fruits  of 
his  prosperity.  The  poor,  particularly  the  sick  poor,  found  in  him  a 
friend.  His  time,  his  labor  and  his  money  were  freely  employed  in 
the  effort  to  alleviate  the  condition  of  suffering  humanity.  His  be- 
nevolence knew  no  limit  in  the  effort  to  aid  rising  merit,  in  its  onward 
struggle.  So  general  had  been  his  kindness  to  all  within  his  reach, 
that  he  was  universally  hailed  as  a  benefactor  and  philanthropist  by 
his  contemporaries.  His  generous  labors  literally  wore  and  broke  him 
down.  He  visited  patients  on  the  very  day  preceding  the  night  of 
his  death.  It  is  supposed  that  an  affection  of  the  heart,  aggravated 
by  unremitting  professional  toil,  caused  his  sudden  death.  In  a  par- 
oxysm of  dyspnoea  he  had  but  just  time  to  alarm  a  beloved  sister,  in 
whose  arms  he  quietly  breathed  out  his  life.  Medical  aid  had  been 
summoned  but  in  vain. 

After  his  death  Dr.  Shattuck  of  Boston  wrote  a  brief  biographical 
sketch  of  Dr.  Doane  which  was  printed  in  the  Neio  England  Quar- 
terly Medical  Journal.  This  was  reprinted  in  a  small  pamphlet  for 
the  family  and  friends,  and  a  steel  portrait  (from  Badger's  painting) , 
also  an  engraving  of  his  monument  in  Mt.  Auburn  cemetery,  were  in-

serted.      Dr.  Doane's  library  and  surgical  instruments  were  donated 
to  the  Boston  Society  for  Medical  Improvement.

1784;  baptized  Apr.  18,  1784,  at  Trinity  church,  by  Rev.  Samuel 
Parker,  and  died  at  Cohasset,  Mass.,  Jan.  7  (or  June  7)  1825.  He 
married  Dec.  20,  1807,  Mary  Bailey,  of  Scituate,  Mass.,  who  died  at 
Cohasset,  Apr.  30,  1811,  aged  23  years.     They  resided  at  Cohasset.

early  life  he  went  to  Boston  and  learned  the  mason's  trade, 
at  which  he  worked  for  several  years  accumulating  quite  a 
fortune.  Success  proved  too  much  for  him  and  in  a  short 
time  his  fortune  was  lost  in  wild  speculation.  He  then  se- 
cured the  position  of  yard-master  at  the  Boston  station  of 
the  New  York  and  New  Eugland  R.  R.,  but  flually  returned 
to  Cohasset,  where,  it  is  said,  he  was  the  most  eccentric  in-

476  JAMES  CUTLER7  DOANE  (Elisha,6  Elisha,5  Elisha,4  Hez-

DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  423 

and  died  there  Sept.  19,  1878.  He  married,  in  1809,  Susannah  Wen- 
dell Hewes,  who  died  at  Cohasset,  in  Aug.,  1879,  aged  86  years,  the 
daughter  of  Solomon  Hewes  of  Boston.  The  following  appreciative 
notice  of  Mr.  Doane  was  written  by  his  friend  Solomon  Lincolu,  Sr., 
of  Hingham  : 

"  The  Hon.  James  C.  Doane,  a  venerable  gentleman  and  prominent  citizen 
of  Cohasset,  died  in  that  town  on  Thursday  last.  He  was  ninety  years  and 
ten  days  old  at  the  time  of  his  decease.  Mr.  Doane  was  a  gentleman  of 
marked  character  and  of  eminent  qualifications  for  public  service,  which 
were  duly  appreciated  by  his  fellow  citizens,  and  frequently  conspicuous  in 
various  offices.  In  early  life  he  was  employed  several  years  in  the  dry  goods 
store  of  MacKay  and  Prince,  Boston.  Two  years  more  were  spent  in  the 
retail  dry  goods  business  in  Boston,  in  company  with  his  brother,  Samuel, 
upon  whose  death,  in  1817,  Mr.  Doane  removed  to  his  native  town  of  Cohas- 
set which  was  his  place  of  residence  for  the  remainder  of  his  life.  From 
1817  to  1854  he  was  actively  engaged  in  the  fishing,  coasting  and  freighting 
business. 

An  enumeration  of  the  various  offices  which  Mr.  Doane  filled,  will  give 
some  idea  of  the  extent  of  his  services  to  the  public.  Omitting  any  notice  of 
several  minor  offices,  he  was  a  member  of  the  boards  of  selectmen,  assess- 
ors, overseers  of  thelpoor,  and  school  committee  of  Cohasset  for  many  years, 
in  all  of  which  his  services  were  laborious  and  valuable. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  State  convention  of  1820-21  to  revise  the  consti- 
tution, and  also  of  the  convention  of  1853  for  the  same  purpose.  Beside 
other  civil  offices  he  was  a  commissioner  for  Norfolk  Co.,  from  1844  to  1857, 
a  representative  from  Cohasset  to  the  General  Court  for  five  years  and  a 
member  of  the  Senate  for  Norfolk  Co.,  for  1848  and  1849.  The  best  evidence 
of  the  estimation  in  which  he  was  held  by  the  people  may  be  found  in  his 
frequent  reelection  to  offices.  Mr.  Doane  was  for  many  years  well  known  in 
Cohasset  and  vicinity.  As  a  gentleman  and  citizen  he  was  highly  esteemed, 
as  a  friend  and  neighbor  he  was  faithful  and  true.  He  was  distinguished  for 
his  public  spirit  and  zeal  for  the  promotion  of  the  interests  of  his  native 
town.  He  had  many  warm  friends  whose  attachment  was  not  weakened  but 
rather  increased  with  age.  It  is  a  pleasure  to  look  back  upon  an  acquaintance 
with  him  for  more  than  half  a  century,  and  to  reflect  upon  the  recollection 
of  his  many  virtues,  civic,  social  aud  domestic."

when  about  fourteen  years  old,  and  was  at  school  in  Maine 
until  he  entered  the  hardware  store  of  William  Greeuough 
&  Co.,  at  39  South  Market  street,  Boston.  Here  he  re- 
mained until  he  was  twenty-one  when  he  went  into  the 
wholesale  hardware  business  for  himself  in  Philadelphia,

keeping  in  touch  with  his  relatives  at  Cohasset  by  yearly 
visits  to  the  salt  -waters  of  Massachusetts  Bay.  He  re- 
mained in  Philadelphia  until  1852,  when  he  went  West  and 
engaged  in  the  coal-mining  and  shipping  business.  A  short 
time  before  his  father's  death  he  returned  to  Cohasset, 
■where  he  spent  his  remaining  years  on  the  old  homestead.

487  BENJAMIN7  DOANE  (Nehemiah,6  Thomas,5  Thomas,4 
Thomas,3  Ephraim,2  John1)  was  born  at  Barrington,  N.  S.,  Sept.  7, 
1823.  He  married  at  Barrington,  Mar.  18,  1852,  Maria  R.  Knowles, 
who  died  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  July  23,  1864  (buried  in  Greenwood 
cemetery,  Brooklyn)  the  daughter  of  John  and  Lydia  Ann  (Doane) 
Knowles  and  granddaughter  of  Prince  Doane  (205).  At  the  age  of 
fourteen  Mr.  Doane  began  following  the  sea,  shipping  as  cook  of  a 
coasting  schooner.  On  his  first  voyage,  as  the  vessel  was  beating 
up  Halifax  Harbor,  cannons  were  booming  from  the  citadel  and 
men-of-war,  and  the  city  and  shipping  were  decorated  with  bunting 
in  honor  of  the  coronation  of  Queen  Victoria.  Until  he  was  twenty- 
one  years  of  age,  he  sailed  out  of  Halifax,  serving  before  the  mast, 
principally  in  the  West  India  trade. 

In  the  year  1845,  weary  of  the  hardships  of  these  voyages  and  fol- 
lowing the  promptings  of  an  adventurous  spirit,  he  went  as  boat- 
steerer  of  the  whaleship  Athol,  of  St.  John,  N.  B.,  commanded  by 
Capt.  James  Doane  Coffin,  of  Barrington,  on  a  whaling  voyage  to  the 
South  Seas.  After  three  years  of  stirring  adventures  he  left  the  Athol 
in  Sydney,  N.  S.  W.  to  receive  surgical  treatment  for  a  knife-wound 
in  the  hand,  suffered  nearly  six  months  before  in  the  Sea  of  Okhotsk, 
while  engaged  in  cutting-in  a  whale.  Gold  had  not  then  been  dis- 
covered in  Australia;  so,  his  hand  having  healed,  he  made  his  way 
home  in  merchant  ships. 


432  THE    DOANE  FAMILY. 

In  the  intervals  between  "cuts"  on  the  Athol,  Mr.  Doane  had 
studied  navigation  and  arithmetic  under  the  captain's  tuition,  and  on 
bis  return  soon  obtained  a  captain's  berth.  His  first  voyage  as  master 
was  in  the  brig  Ambassador,  of  Shelburne,  N.  S.,  lumber-laden, 
from  Port  Medway  to  Barbadoes.  The  morning  after  leaving  port 
(Dec.  12,  1851),  in  a  living  gale  of  wind,  while  the  brig  with  her 
deckload  was  covered  thick  with  ice  from  stem  to  stern,  a  schooner 
in  a  sinking  condition  and  flying  signals  of  distress  was  fallen  in  with- 
She  proved  to  be  the  Arrival,  Capt.  Tappen  and  five  men,  bound 
from  Cascumpeque,  P.  E.  I.,  to  Newburyport,  Mass.,  and  owned  by 
the  U.  S.  Consular  agent  at  Charlotte  town.  The  rescue  of  the  men 
was  accomplished  ;  a  remarkable  feature  of  it  being  that  two  of  them, 
by  Captain  Doane's  direction,  climbed  to  the  end  of  the  schooner's 
mainboom,  and  he  laid  the  brig  so  close  under  her  stern  that  they 
stepped  off  the  boom  into  the  brig's  main  rigging. 

Soon  after  his  marriage,  in  1852,  Capt.  Doane  removed  to  New 
York,  adopted  American  citizenship,  and  thereafter  sailed  continu- 
ously from  that  port  till  his  retirement  from  the  sea  in  1889.  On  the 
outbreak  of  the  Civil  war  he  volunteered  in  the  Union  Navy  and  re- 
ceived an  ensign's  commission,  but  was  never  called  into  actual 
service.  For  over  twenty  years  he  commanded  steamships  in  the 
employ  of  fm,  P.  Clyde  &  Co.,  his  last  ship  being  the  Cherokee, 
the  first  of  the  magnificent  new  fleet  of  that  line,  plying  beween  New 
York,  Charleston  and  Jacksonville. 

That  as  a  young  man  the  subject  of  this  sketch  possessed  remark- 
able physical  powers,  all  his  old  shipmates  attest.  uTo  go  from  one 
yardarm  to  the  next,  he  would  climb  the  leach  of  the  topsail,"  vouches 
one  who  sailed  with  him  for  years.  "He  could  hang  on  by  his  eye- 
lids"— "he  could  tie  himself  in  a  knot,"  are  the  comprehensive  hyper- 
boles of  others.  Of  the  brave  deeds  gallantly  performed  with  which 
his  life  was  crowded,  we  can  only  mention  here — the  saving  of  two 
little  children  from  drowning  in  Halifax  Harbor ;  saving  his  cap- 
tain's life  in  a  mutiny  in  the  South  Pacific ;  preventing  the  murder 
in  the  Japan  Islands  of  a  man  whom  he  cordially  hated  ;  the  rescue 
at  sea  above  narrated ;  putting  down  single-handed  a  desperate 
mutiny  at  night  on  the  barque  Theresa  in  New  York  lower  bay. 
Of  these,  this  brief  statement  is  the  only  record,  while  many  others 
equally  to  his  credit  remain  untold,  in  which  he  evinced  the  same 
unflinching  fortitude  of  spirit  and  resourcefulness  in  danger,  with 
which  he  was  so   plentifully  endued.     Nor  was  he   merely  a  man  of 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  433 

action.  He  has  lifelong  extended  his  acquaintance  with  English  lite- 
rature and  has  a  fine  appreciation  of  its  beauties.  The  finest  of  the 
"Percy  Ballads,"  "Marmion,"  much  of  "Childe  Harold,"  "The 
Corsair,"  and  his  especial  favorite,  "Falconer's  Shipwreck,"  he  has 
known  by  heart  for  fifty  years. 

Indulgent  of  the  shortcomings  of  others,  rigorously  exacting  of 
himself,  something  of  his  character  may  be  judged  by  the  precepts 
which  he  set  himself  to  observe:  "Never  do  yourself  what  you 
would  condemn  in  others."  "Do  the  duty  that  lies  nearest  even  if 
you  thereby  let  the  'main  chance'  go."  "If  I  would  lie  for  you," 
he  said  on  an  important  occasion  to  his  shipowners,  "how  could  you 
be  sure  that  others  might  not  induce  me  to  lie  against  you?"  En- 
dowed with  unusual  strength  of  constitution  and  vitality,  Captain 
Doane  "obeying  still  in  age  the  law  in  youth  obeyed,"  retains  at  79 
a  great  measure  of  his  bodily  vigor  and  undiminished  mental  activity.

and  died,  of  pneumonia,  at  Athol,  Mass.,  Apr.  15,  1891,  aged  77 
years.  He  married  Eliza  Furbush  of  Royalston,  Mass.,  and  lived  in 
Athol.

491  LUCY  ANN8  DOANE (Seth  B.,? Edward,6  Noah,5  Solomon,4 
Samuel,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Lowell,  Mass.,  May  8,  1827  and 
died  at  Glasford,  111.,  Dec.  20,  1898.  She  married  Dec.  11,  1845, 
Shaderick  L.  Scott,  who  was  born  in  Montgomery  Co.,  Ky.,  Dec. 
11,  1822  and  died  at  Glasford,  Mar.  21,  1901,  the  son  of  William 
L.  Scott,  a  native  of  Scotland.  When  a  young  girl  she  moved  with 
her  parents  from  Lowell  to  Buffalo,  N.  Y.  and  from  there  to  Fulton 
Co.,  111.  Her  remarkable  memory,  which  she  retained  to  the  last, 
enabled  her  to  portray  that  memorable  trip  made  through  the  Erie 
Canal  and  to  picture  Chicago  as  it  was  in  the  early  30's.  She  began 
her  married  life  in  a  small  log  cabin  in  the  wilderness  near  Glasford, 
Peoria  Co.,  111.  It  was  the  typical  dwelling  of  the  early  settlers. 
A  wide  old-fashioned  fire-place  occupied  one  end  of  the  kitchen. 
Above  this  were  swung  the  pots  and  kettles,  while  the  red  hot  embers 
were  utilized  to  bake  the  johnny  cake.  Her  first  table  consisted  of 
a  barrel  with  a  board  across  the  top.  An  apple  tree  planted  by  her, 
in  a  spot  where  the  brush  had  been  cleared  away,  is  still  standing  and

bearing  fruit.  Thus,  in  the  wooded  Illinois  valley,  she  and  her  hus- 
band began  the  battle  of  life,  but  by  the  help  of  her  willing  hands 
and  Yankee  pluck,  the  humble  home  was  finally  transformed  into  a 
residence  of  comfort  and  abundance.  In  her  earlier  years  she  was 
a  frequenter  of  the  house  of  God,  but  later  in  life  her  home  duties 
and  failing  health  deprived  her  of  that  privilege.  Notwithstanding 
these  cares  her  sunny  disposition  soon  dispelled  every  cloud  which 
came  to  darken  her  home,  and  when  it  was  her  lot  to  sacrifice  con- 
veniences and  enjoyments,  she  did  it  with  the  consolation  that  all 
things  earthly  must  soon  have  an  end.  She  died  as  she  had  lived, 
full  of  hope  for  a  blessed  immortality.

Apr.  10,  1851.  He  lives  near  Glasford,  on  one  of  the  finest 
farms  in  central  Illinois.  Is  one  of  the  most  successful

438  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Samuel,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  in  Chicago,  111.,  Feb.  1,  1834.     He 
married,  in  1863,  Nancy  Ann  Crossen.      His  boyhood  was  spent  in 
typical  pioneer  life  among  the  Indians,  and  he  early  developed  a  brave 
and  self-reliant  spirit.   He  united  with  the  family  in  protecting  them- 
selves against  the  wiles  and  tomahawks  of  the  savage  Indians.     His 
surroundings  were  such  as  to  deprive  him  of  the  advantages  of  an 
early  education.     In  the  year  1853  his  parents  emigrated  to  Canton, 
111.,  where  Seth,  then  a  youth  of  eighteen  years,  "  caught  the  gold 
fever,"  and  impelled  by  a  spirit  of  adventure,  left  home  and  friends 
and  started  for  the  Pacific  coast  in  search  of  gold.      He  started  out 
from  Kingston,  111.,  in  Feb.,  1854,  taking  boat  to  St.  Louis,  where 
he  was  joined  by  his  brother  Leander,  and  brother-in-law,  Matthew 
Wells.     Together  they  continued  the  journey  by  boat  up  the  Mis- 
souri river  to  St.  Joseph,  then  the  eastern  terminus  for  traders  get- 
ting ready  to  cross  the  "Great  American  Desert."     Here  he  most 
generously  shared  his  hard  earned  savings  with  his  brother  Leander, 
who  had  just  recovered  from  the  "Asiatic  cholera."     Leaving  St. 
Joseph  on  Apr.  25,  1854,  alone,  and  with  only  two  dollars  in  money, 
he  set  out  to  make  the  trip  overland,  a  distance  of  twenty-five  hun- 
dred miles  and  requiring  five  months'  travel.     With   characteristic 
energy  he  worked  his  way  by  driving  a  team  of  eight  oxen  attached 
to  a  freight  wagon,  and  after  months  of  continued  hardship  he  ar- 
rived, on  August  13th  of  the  same  year,  at  Shasta,  Cal.,  having  one 
dollar  and  fifty  cents  left.     He  had  spent  fifty  cents  during  the  jour- 
ney and  that  to  buy  a  veil  with  which  to  protect  his  eyes  from  the 
sand.     Here  the  boy  of  nineteen  years  with  bucket,  pick,  shovel  and 
gunny  sack,  went  up  the  gulch  far  beyond  the  claims  of  others  to 
dig  out  his  fortune.      For  three  years  young  Doane  battled  with  the 
miners  "rocker"  making  from  six  to  twelve  dollars  per  day,  but  during 
that  time  the  novelty  and  romance  of  the  life  fled,  and  Seth  fled  also. 
For  some  years  after  this  he  led  the  life  of  a  ranchman.    Later  he  went 
to  San  Francisco  and  in  Nov.,  1862,  boarded  the  Golden  Era,  a  com- 
bined sail  and  steamboat,  and    embarked   for   New   York   via    the 
Isthmus  of  Panama.     The   vessel  narrowly  escaped  destruction  in 
the  Pacific  while  near  the  tropic  of  Cancer,  but  arrived  at  New  York 
after  a  voyage  of  twenty-four  days.     From  there  he  returned  to  the 
home  of  his  parents  near  Canton,  111.,  where  he  bought  a  tract  of 
land,  with  his  earnings  in  the  gold  fields,  and  engaged  in  farming. 
He  remained  on  this  farm  five  years ;  then,  seeking  a  milder  climate, 
he  journeyed  by  "  Prairie  Schooner  Route"  to  the  unbroken  plains  of

Bourbon  Co.,  Kan.  There  he  purchased  a  tract  of  land  and  built  a 
home  near  Fort  Scott.  In  Nov.,  1889,  he  sold  this  place  and  re- 
moved a  few  miles  distant  to  his  present  home  in  the  town  of  Ham-

496  GEORGE  WOOD8  DOANE  (Leonard,7  Samuel,6  Nehemiah,5 
Solomon,4  Samuel,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Dana,  Mass.,  June 
20,  1827  and  died  there  Jan.  20,  1899.  He  was  married  atPepperell, 
Mass.,  Aug.  26,  1846,  by  Rev.  David  Andrews,  to  Mary  Elizabeth, 
daughter  of  William  and  Mary  (Blood)  Shaltuck  of  Pepperell.  She 
was  born  at  Pepperell,  Apr.  21,  1828.  George  Wood  Doane  was  a 
beloved  and  much  indulged  only  son  ;  social,  sanguine,  ardent ;  in 
his  youth  he  loved  the  gayeties  of  life,  and  was  known  far  and  near. 
His  absolute  freedom  from  alcoholism  and  contempt  of  every  degree 
of  drunkenness,  led  him  early  to  join  what  was  known  as  the  Wash- 
ingtonian  Temperance  movement,  and  doubtless  kept  him  from  many 
temptations  open  to  young  men  of  his  day.  As  he  matured  he  de- 
veloped an  innate  integrity,  which  in  middle  and  later  life  made  him 
a  man  of  strictest  honesty.  It  was  said  of  him,  by  one  to  whom  he 
owed  a  sum  of  money,  "  I  had  as  soon  have  his  word  as  his  uote," 
and  the  result  justified  the  trust.  In  business,  he  followed  his  father 
and  for  many  years  was  a  worker  and  dealer  in  palm-leaf.  When  he 
lived  in  Winchester,  N.  H.,  however,  from  '51  to  '57,  a  part  of  the 
time  he  was  a  successful  agent  for  a  firm  manufacturing  patent  medi- 
cines, with  Southern  New  Hampshire  and  Eastern  Massachusetts,  as 
his  territory.  Returning  to  Dana,  he  was  a  manufacturer  of  and  dealer 
in  palm-leaf  goods,  until  the  Cuban  ten-year  war  cut  off  the  source  of 
his  supplies.  He  then  became  a  farmer  and  carpenter,  having  a 
natural  mechanical  gift  and  being  skilled  in  the  use  of  tools.  In  re- 
ligion he  followed  his  wife ;  nominally,  at  first,  a  Universalist,  he 
gradually  adopted  the  standpoint  of  the  Congregational  church,  and 
although  never  a  communicant,  for  many  years  he  gave  the  church  at 
Dana  his  support  and  was  a  regular  attendant  on  its  services  to  the 
time  of  his  death.  In  politics  he  followed  his  father,  a  Free  Soiler, 
a  Republican,  and  first,  last  and  always  a  temperance  voter.  He 
was  not,  however,  a  public  man.  In  town  and  county  affairs  he  used 
his  influence  and  cast  his  vote  for  what   he  deemed  progress,  but 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  441 

neither  sought  nor  held  public  office.     He  was  too  independent  in  his 
opinions  to  be  a  leader  among  men,  yet  he  was  often  influenced  in 
forming  his  opinions  by  those  whose  judgment  he  respected.     Al- 
though he  relied  with  confidence  on  his  own  judgment,  he  was  rather 
humble  minded  than  egotistic.     He  bore  misfortune  with  patience 
and  with  an  outlook  of  hope,  and  carried  into  the  chill  of  age  the 
warm  enthusiasm  of  youth.     This  disposition  was  especially  mani- 
fested when,  in  1888,  his  house  and  household  goods  were  destroyed 
by  fire.     He  built  a  substantial  house  on  the  site  of  the  old  building 
on  Pottanpanque  Farm,  and  though  his  losses  and  subsequent  ex- 
penses were  considerable  he  never  repined.     Of  this  house,  his  son- 
in-law  Edward  Gilmore  was  architect,  his  son  Charles  was  builder 
and  he  himself  and  son  Albert  worked  in  its  construction.     At  the 
town-meeting  following  the  fire,  a  rebate  of  his  taxes  for  the  year 
was  voted  by  the  town.     This  act  he  received  with  a  special  sense  of 
gratitude,  as  also  he  did  the  celebration  of  his  golden  wedding  given 
by  his  children  in  1896,  a  social  function  attended  by  a  large  com- 
pany of  townspeople  who  brought  substantial  evidence  of  their  esteem 
for  him  and  his  wife.     Mr.   Doane,  like  his  father,  was  broad  and 
liberal  minded,  had   a  large  view  of   affairs,  great    charity  for  the 
faults  and  respect  for  the  views  of  others  even  while  differing  from 
them.     Kind,  generous  and  free  to  help  others  even  at  the  expense 
of  his  own  interests,  cheerful  and  helpful,  appreciative  of  kindness, 
enterprising,  energetic  and  honest  in  business,  he  taught  his  children 
to  be  thorough  in  their  work  and  faithful  to  trusts.     His  nature  wras 
susceptible  and  responsive  to  noble  influences  and  thus  his  thought 
and  life  strengthened  with  his  years.     Although  his  last  two  or  three 
years  were  enfeebled  by  disease,  it  truly  may  be  said  of  him  "  his 
last  days  were  his  best  days."

500  THOMAS8  DOANE  (John,7  Timothy,6John,5  Simeon,4  Sam- 
uel,3 John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Orleans,  Mass.,  Sept.  20,  1821  and 
died  at  West  Townsend,  Vt.,  during  a  visit  to  that  place,  Oct.  22, 
1897.  He  was  buried  in  Orleans.  He  married  first,  Nov.  5,  1850, 
Sophia  Dennison  Clark,  who  died  Dec.  1,  1868.  Married  second, 
Nov.  19,  1870,  Louisa  Amelia  Barber,  born  at  Brattleboro,  Vt.,  Apr. 
13,  1828,  daughter  of  Anson  and  Louisa  (Potter)  Barber.  Mr.  Doane 
attended  the  Orleans  Academy  until  he  was  nineteen  years  old,  and 
then  spent  five  terms  at  the  English  Academy  at  Andover,  Mass. 

Leaving  this  school  he  entered  the  office  of  Samuel  Felton,  one  of 
the  most  noted  civil  engineers  of  his  time  in  the  country  and  a  lead- 
ing citizen  of  Charlestown,  Mass.  After  three  years  in  Mr.  Felton's 
office,  he  was  placed  in  charge  of  a  division  of  the  Vermont  Central 
Railroad  and  later  was  for  two  years  resident  engineer  of  the 
Cheshire  Railroad,  at  Walpole,  N.  H.  In  Dec,  1849,  he  returned 
to  Charlestown  and,  in  company  with  his  brother,  John  Doane,  Jr., 
opened  an  office  at  21  City  Square,  under  the  firm  name  of  T.  &  J. 
Doane,  Jr.,  for  the  general  practice  of  civil  engineering  and  survey- 
ing, an  office  which  was  maintained  until  his  death.  The  firm  also 
maintained  for  many  years,  ending  in  1870,  a  Boston  office ;  first  at  4

Cornhill  Court  and  later  in  Banister's  Hall,  Court  Square.  Mr.  Doane 
had  at  one  time  or  another  been  connected  with  all  the  railroads  run- 
ning out  of  Boston,  but  particularly  with  the  Boston  and  Maine.  In 
1863  he  was  appointed  chief  engineer  of  the  Hoosac  Tunnel  and  lo- 
cated the  line  of  the  tunnel,  built  the  dam  in  the  Deerfield  River  to 
furnish  water  power,  and  in  this  work  introduced  nitro- glycerine  and 
electric  blasting  for  the  first  time  in  this  country.  He  also  intro- 
duced compressed  air  and  invented  the  machinery  for  it,  and  had  a 
large  share  in  inventing  the  pneumatic  drills  used  there.  On  the  open- 
ing of  the  tunnel  in  1875  he  ran  the  first  engine,  the  "  N.  C.  Munson" 
through  it.  In  1869  he  went  to  Nebraska  and  built  two  hundred  and 
forty  miles  of  railroad  on  the  extension  of  the  Chicago,  Burlington 
and  Quincy  Railroad,  and  located  and  named  nearly  all  the  towns  on 
the  extension.  Completing  his  work  in  Nebraska  in  1873  he  returned 
to  Charlestown  and  soon  afterward  was  reappointed  consulting  engi- 
neer of  the  Hoosac  Tunnel,  and  had  charge  of  the  reconstruction  of 
the  Troy  and  Greenfield  Railway  and  of  the  tunnel.  He  finished  his 
duties  in  this  direction  in  1877  and  two  years  later  was  appointed 
consulting  and  acting  chief  engineer  of  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad, 
for  one  year.  During  that  time  he  located  the  Pend  d'Oreille  divis- 
ion across  the  Columbia  Plains,  in  Washington  Territory,  and  parts 
of  the  Missouri  Division  in  Dakota. 

Mr.  Doane  was  employed  at  one  time  as  consulting  engineer  of 
the  West  End  Street  Railway,  Boston,  and  in  the  winter  of  1887-8, 
in  company  with  other  officials  of  the  railway  visited  a  number  of 
Western  cities  for  the  purpose  of  examining  cable  systems. 

A  large  part  of  the  engineering  for  the  city  of  Charlestown  was 
done  by  Mr.  Doane  previous  to  that  city  becoming  a  part  of  Boston 
in  1874. 

For  more  than  twenty  years  and  until  the  time  of  his  death,  Mr. 
Doane  was  an  active  member  of  the  Boston  Society  of  Civil  Engi- 
neers. He  was  elected  President  shortly  after  its  reorganization  in 
1874  and  was  nine  times  reelected  to  that  position.  He  became 
a  member  of  the  American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers  in  1882. 
From  1869  to  1873,  while  a  resident  of  Nebraska,  he  was  instru- 
mental in  founding  "Doane  College,"  situated  at  Crete,  on  the  "Big 
Blue"  River  twenty  miles  west  of  Lincoln,  and  one  of  the  leading 
educational  institutions  of  that  state.  Offers  by  the  railroad  com- 
pany of  six  hundred  acres  of  choice  land  adjoining  the  town  site,  and 
of  fifty  lots  in  the  town  of  Crete  by  the  Eastern  Land  Association 


446  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

were    made  on  condition  that   other  valuable  property  be  secured. 
Through  Mr.  Doane's  influence,  and  his   own  liberal  contributions, 
these  conditions  were  fulfilled,  and  in  appreciation  of  his  efforts,  of 
his  generous  aid,  his  active  participation  in  every  good  enterprise,  re- 
ligious, educational,  patriotic,  but  more  especially  because   of  his 
character  as  a  man,  the  corporate  body  wrote  his  name  into  the  arti- 
cles of  incorporation  and  the  institutiou   came  to    be  called  Doane 
College.     Events  have  justified  the  incorporators  in  bestowing  this 
name.       From  the  first,  Mr.  Doane  was  a  constant  and  liberal  giver, 
an  invaluable  adviser  and  colaborer.     The  college  contains  four  sub- 
stantial brick   buildings,   a  spacious  campus,  well-equipped  labora- 
tories and   dormitories  for  both  sexes.     It  maintains  classical  and 
scientific  collegiate  courses,  a  military  department  and  a  conservatory 
of  music.     Mr.  Doane  rarely   failed  to  attend    the  commencement 
exercises,  making  yearly  a  trip  to  Nebraska  for  this  purpose.     He 
was  one  of  the  trustees  at  the  time  of    his  death.     He   prospered 
financially,  and  by  his  will  the  bulk  of  his  estate  will  eventually  go 
to  Doane  College  as  an  endowment.     Doane  College  is  his  monument 
and  to  this  seat  of  classic  study  he  gave  thought,  labor  and  money, 
making  many  sacrifices  for  its  welfare  in  which  his  family  shared. 

Mr.  Doane  possessed  a  strongly  religious  spirit,  and  he  early  as- 
sociated with  the  church,  being  for  many  years  a  member  and  a 
senior  deacon  of  the  old  Winthrop  Congregational  church  of  Charles- 
town.  He  was  the  first  president  of  the  Charlestown  branch  of  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  and  was  a  member  of  the  Con- 
gregational Club  of  Boston.  He  was  a  director  of  the  Associated 
Charities  of  Boston,  and  president  of  its  Charlestown  branch.  He 
was  a  vice-president  of  the  Hunt  Asylum  for  Destitute  Children. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society, 
and  of  the  American  College  and  Educational  Society,  and  was  for 
more  than  thirty  years  a  Justice  of  the  Peace. 

Mr.  Doane  resided  for  many  years  at  No.  8  Pearl  Street,  in  one  of 
the  oldest  houses  in  Charlestown.  It  was  at  one  time  owned  by 
Oliver  Holden,  the  composer  of  the  famous  hymn  "  Coronation," 
who  lived  there  for  years  and  died  in  one  of  the  upper  rooms.  The 
house  was  the  last  piece  of  property  in  the  vicinity  that  was  kept  in 
the  original  state.  It  was  never  painted  or  refitted  while  Mr.  Doane 
occupied  it,  he  preferring  to  keep  it  in  its  original  condition  on  ac- 
count of  the  historical  connectious. 

For  many  years  Mr.  Doane's  figure  going  to  and  from  his  office 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.         447 

was  a  familiar  one  on  the  streets  of  Cbarlestown.  He  was  a  man  of 
fine  appearance,  and  had  a  manner  that  attracted  even  strangers  to 
him.  Although  seventy-six  years  of  age  it  could  only  be  told  by 
his  white  hair  and  beard.  He  was  tall,  broad  shouldered  and  as 
erect  in  his  carriage  as  a  trained  soldier.

501  JOHN  WESLEY8  DOANE  (Joel,7  Uriah,6  Benjamin,5  Sim- 
eon,4 Samuel,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Thompson,  Conn.,  Mar. 
23,  1828  and  died  of  heart  trouble  in  his  apartments  at  the  Holland 
House,  New  York  city,  Mar.  23,  1901  (buried  in  Thompson).  He 
married  Nov.  11,  1855,  Julia  Ann  Moulton,  who  died  at  Thompson, 
Jan.,  1902.  Mr.  Doane  began  "  at  the  foot  of  the  ladder"  in  busi- 
ness. He  took  what  little  money  his  family  could  give  him,  and 
went  to  Chicago  about  1854  or  5,  and  embarked  in  the  grocery  busi- 
ness. He  got  ships  and  finally  dealt  only  in  ship  loads,  entire  cargoes, 
and  owned  whole  sections  of  Chicago.  He  prospered  exceedingly  and 
became  one  of  the  very  wealthy  men  of  the  country,  and  one  of  the 
great  forces  in  trade  principally  in  the  West.  The  fire  of  1871  de- 
stroyed all  his  property  and  on  borrowed  capital  he  began  business 
anew,  soon  turning  his  attention  to  the  importing  of  coffee,  teas  and 
spices.  He  was  at  the  head  of  the  firm  of  J.  W.  Doane  &  Co.,  with 
offices  at  Chicago,  New  York,  London  and  Rio  Janeiro.  His  wealth 
has  been  estimated  as  high  as  ten  millions  of  dollars.  He  was  a  di- 
rector in  the  Pullman  Car  Co.,  in  the  New  York  and  New  England

506  CHARLES  RUSSELL8  DOANE  (Russell,7  Myrick,6  Isaiah,5 
Simeon,4  Samuel,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Eastham,  Mass.,  Aug. 
30,  1840  and  died  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  June  9,  1884.  He  married 
Feb.  16,  1865,  Mary  Matilda,  born  in  Spottswood,  N.  J.,  June  26, 
1840,  the  daughter  of  Richard  and  Rebecca  Mount. 

Doctor  Doane  went  to  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  with  his  parents  when 
eleven  years  old.  They  located  in  the  Eastern  District  of  Brooklyn, 
called  Williamsburg.  Leaving  school  when  he  was  sixteen  he  soon 
found  congenial  employment  in  a  doctor's  office.  While  there  he  first 
conceived  the  idea  of  studying  medicine,  and  prevailed  upon  his  father 
to  allow  him  to  attend  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  New 
York.  After  attending  one  term,  however,  he  discontinued  his  stud- 
ies and  went  with  his  parents  to  Spottswood,  where  his  father  had 
purchased  a  farm. 

On  the  outbreak  of  the  Rebellion  in  1861,  he  was  one  of  the  first 
to  offer  his  services  to  the  government,  and  served  in  North  Carolina 
during  the  first  years  of  the  war,  as  second  lieutenant,  first  lieuten 
ant  and  captain,  respectively,  of  the  New  York  Marine  Artillery.  He 
resigned  from  this  department  in  June,  1863,  and  accepted  the  com- 
mission of  first  lieutenant  in  Battery  D,  4th  Artillery,  of  New  Jer- 
sey ;  which  position  he  held  until  the  resignation  of  Captain  Wood- 
bury, when  he  became  captain  of  the  Battery,  and  was  mustered  in 
as  such  at  Chapin's  Farm  in  front  of  Richmond  in  Oct.,  1864.  He 
saw  active  service  at  the  front  and  made  a  war  record  of  which  any 
man  might  be  proud.  He  was  a  brave  soldier,  acquitting  himself  with 
distinguished  honor  on  several  occasions.  In  Foster's  History  of  New 
Jersey  and  the  Rebellion,  honorable  mention  is  made  of  Lieutenant 
Doane's  bravery  at  Bermuda  Hundred  in  these  words : 

"  Lieut.  Doane  in  command  of  the  four  guns  left  in  the  action  of  Sunday, 
now  opened  Are,  upon  which  the  entire  force  of  the  artillery  directed  their 
shots  at  one  point,  Lieut.  Morris  tiring  at  nearly  right  angles  with  the  other 
batteries.  Under  cover  of  this  cannonade,  the  Second  Division  of  the  Tenth 
Corps  charged  the  rebel  ranks  and  captured  thirteen  hundred  prisoners  and 
several  battle-flags.  A  Rebel  battery  was  observed  trying  to  get  into  posi- 
tion in  the  front,  but  the  storm  of  shot  and  shell  struck  down  the  men  and 
horses  and  completely  disabled  their  guns.  Lieut.  Doane  seeing  so  many  of 
his  men  go  down  before  the  lire  of  the  sharp-shooters  posted  in  trees,  threw 
oil*  his  coat  and  hat,  seized  a  spunge-staff  and  performed  the  duties  of  Num- 
ber One,  until  the  firing  ceased;  awakening  the  confidence  and  admiration 
of  all  who  witnessed  the  deed."

DESCENDANTS  OF  DBA.  JOHN  DOANE.  451 

After  the  close  of  the  war  Doctor  Doane  returned  home  and  de- 
voted the  next  five  years  to  inventing  and  manufacturing  several 
labor-saving  machines.  In  the  meantime  his  leisure  moments  were 
spent  in  studying  medicine,  and  in  a  few  years  he  was  again  able  to 
enter  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  from  which  he  gradu- 
ated with  honors  in  1872,  being  the  valedictorian  of  his  class.  He 
immediately  began  practice  in  the  Eastern  District  of  Brooklyn. 

In  1881,  he  was  appointed  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Education  of 
Brooklyn,  and  the  following  year  was  elected  Vice  President  of  that 
body  and  reelected  in  1883.  He  was  an  enthusiastic  member,  served 
on  several  important  committees  of  the  board  and  was  chairman  of 
the  school  committee  in  his  own  district. 

Doctor  Doane  was  a  member  of  the  Masonic  Order.  He  was  twice 
elected  Master  of  Marsh  Lodge  F.  and  A.  M.  and  for  ten  successional 
years  represented  that  body  in  the  Grand  Lodge.  He  was  also  a 
charter  member  of  the  Standard  Council  of  the  Legion  of  Honor. 

He  was  an  active  member  of  Harry  Lee  Post  G.  A.  R.  of  Brooklyn, 
and  as  a  Grand  Army  man  was  always  exceedingly  popular  with  the 
"  Boys  in  Blue."  The  Doane  Post  No.  499  of  Brooklyn  was  named 
in  his  honor. 

Doctor  Doane  was  a  tireless  and  painstaking  worker.  Whatever  he 
undertook  was  done  to  the  best  of  his  ability.  He  rose  early,  retired 
l»te  and  was  never  idle.  For  several  years  he  was  editor  of  the  Com- 
mercial Reporter,  and  from  its  pages  many  a  rare  gem,  of  which  he 
was  the  author,  may  be  culled.  He  was  a  versatile  writer,  always 
interesting  whether  writing  in  a  serious  or  comic  vein,  prose  or  poetry. 
He  was  a  man  of  sincere  purpose  and  high  aims,  conscientious  and 
faithful  in  the  discharge  of  every  duty.  He  never  tried  to  conceal  a 
purpose  in  flattery,  or  utter  a  thought  with  malevolent  intention.  He 
was  always  independent  and  aggressive,  outspoken  in  conversation 
and  had  the  courage  of  his  convictions.  Doctor  Doane  was  a  man 
of  fine  physique,  of  striking  personal  appearance  and  did  not,  until 
almost  at  the  last,  betray  outwardly  the  ravages  of  the  insidious 
disease  that  ended  his  life.  He  was  buried  with  military  and  masonic 
honors  in  Cypress  Hill  Cemetery.

512  GEORGE  WILLIAM8  DOANE  (Guy  William,7  William,6 
Prince,5  Prince,4  Israel,3  Daniel,2  John1)  was  born  at  Circleville,  O., 
Dec.  16,  1824.  He  married  at  Keokuk,  la.,  Oct.  25,  1859,  Emily 
R.  Greenhow.  Mr.  Doane  graduated  at  Marietta  College  in  1845, 
studied  law  in  his  father's  office  in  Circleville,  and  was  admitted  to 
the  Bar  in  1848  at  Columbus,  0.  He  entered  upon  the  practice  of 
law  at  Circleville  in  partnership  with  his  father,  but  the  new  and 
more  inviting  fields  of  the  far  West  were  then  opening  up  by  the  pas- 
sage of  the  Kansas  and  Nebraska  bill  by  Congress  in  1854,  and  in 
Apr.,  1857,  he  left  the  home  of  his  birth  for  Nebraska.  In  August 
following  he  was  elected  District  Attorney  of  the  Third  Judicial  Dis- 
trict of  the  Territory  and  was  reelected  in  1859.  In  1859  and  1860, 
he  served  in  the  Legislature,  having  been  elected  a  member  of  the 
Territorial  Council.  In  1864,  he  became  a  resident  of  Omaha,  hav- 
ing first  located  in  Burt  Co.,  and  afterwards  in  Washington  Co.  In 
1865,  he  was  elected  prosecuting  attorney  of  Douglas  Co.  and  served 
for  the  statutory  term  of  two  years.  In  1867,  he  served  in  the  last 
session  of  the  territorial  legislature,  having  been  elected  a  member 


456  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

of  the  council  from  the  county  of  Douglas.  In  1880,  he  was  elected 
to  the  state  senate  and,  in  the  session  of  the  legislature  which  fol- 
lowed, took  a  leading  part  in  the  formulation  and  adoption  of  a  law 
for  the  regulation  of  rates  by  railroads  within  the  state.  In  1877,  he 
was  elected  one  of  the  judges  of  the  district  court  of  the  Fourth  Judi- 
cial District  and,  having  served  one  full  term,  was  in  1891  reelected 
by  a  largely  increased  majority.  In  1892,  he  resigned  his  seat  on  the 
Bench  to  make  the  canvass  for  Congress,  having  been  nominated  as 
the  Democratic  candidate  for  that  position.  The  district,  however, 
being  largely  Republican,  he  was  defeated  by  a  small  majority. 
After  this  he  resumed  the  practice  of  his  profession  in  Omaha,  in 
which  he  is  still  engaged. 

Mr.  Doane,  as  a  lawyer,  is  energetic  and  successful ;  persistent, 
and  indefatigable  in  attention  to  his  clients'  interests  ;  an  able  and 
intelligent  conductor  before  either  court  or  jury,  ranking  among  the 
foremost  of  the  Bar  in  the  state.  As  a  citizen,  Mr.  Doane  is  one  of 
the  best  which  any  community  can  furnish — honest,  honorable,  just, 
liberal  and  of  unblemished  character,  always  on  the  side  of  good 
morals  and  of  private  and  public  rectitude.  Of  their  seven  children 
the  following  survive.

Mr.  Doane  is  proprietor  of  a  printing  business  at  54  Montgomery 
St.,  Jersey  City,  N.  J.  He  learned  the  printer's  trade  at  Coatesville, 
Pa.,  and  spent  several  years  in  the  West  and  South  before  locating 
in  Jersey  City.  He  is  a  prominent  member  of  the  Independent  Or-

the  I.  O.  O.  F.  in  New  Jersey  in  1891,  and  has  served  as  its  state 
representative  in  the  Sovereign  Grand  Lodge  since  1897.  He  has 
always  taken  great  interest  in  the  genealogy  of  our  family,  and  is 
one  of  the  faithful  few  to  whom  the  compiler  is  deeply  indebted  for 
valuable  information.  Many  years  ago  he  made  personal  research 
in  public  records  of  Chester  and  Bucks  counties  bringing  to  light 
much  new  and  valuable  data  in  regard  to  his  family,  and  on  the  death 
of  Dr.  Buckman  he  received  by  bequest  the  entire  collection  of 
Buckman  papers  on  the  genealogy  and  history  of  the  Pennsylvania

Apr.,  1863,  he  was  captured,  with  the  garrison  of  about 
three  thousand  men,  at  Plymouth,  N.  C,  and  sent  to  An-

years  of  age,  but  in  1851  joined  his  brother  James  in  Atlanta, 
where  he  was  engaged  in  miscellaneous  trading  with  varying 
success  until  his  death.  He  went  to  Atlanta  when  it  was 
but  a  small  village,  was  a  member  of  its  Pioneer  Society 
and  was  one  of  the  oldest  and  most  prominent  citizens. 
He  was  a  man  of  rare  qualifications,  and  never  failed  to 
make  a  friend  of  a  person  with  whom  he  came  in  contact ; 
a  man  of  marked  characteristics  and  strong  individuality ; 
one  whose  opinions  were  conscientious  convictions  to  which 
he  bravely  and  unswervingly  adhered.  About  1880,  he  en- 
tered enthusiastically  into  the  work  of  collecting  the  records 
and  tracing  the  genealogies  of  his  ancestors  in  America, 
but  died  before  completing  his  researches.  Through 
courtesy  of  his  family  his  valuable  collection  of  materialsj

529  JOSEPH8  DOANE  (Isaiah,7  Joseph,6  Joseph,5  Elisha,4 
Hezekiah,3  Ephraim,2  John1)  was  born  at  Chatham,  Mass.,  Oct.  17, 
1816  and  died  at  Stoughton,  Mass.,  Dec.  8,  1898.  He  married  at 
Dorchester  Lower  Mills,  Sept.  3,  1836,  Susannah,  daughter  of  Wil- 
liam Small.  She  died  at  Brockton,  Mass.,  Aug.  19,  1889,  aged  77 
yrs.,  11  mos.  13  dys. 

When  Mr.  Doane  was  nine  years  old  his  father  was  lost  at  sea, 
and  four  months  later  his  mother  died,  leaving  him  to  the  care  of  an 
uncle.  During  boyhood  he  attended  district  school,  but  like  most 
Cape  Cod  boys  became  fired  with  an  ambition  to  go  to  sea,  and  when 
little  more  than  ten  years  old  his  uncle  shipped  him  off,  as  cook,  on 
Capt.  Freeman's  fishing  vessel  along  the  eastern  coast.  He,  how- 
ever, having  little  love  for  that  work  "skipped"  from  the  vessel  while 
in  port  and  went  to  Newburyport  where  he  got  aboard  a  boat  bound 
for  Boston.  On  ai'riving  at  Boston  next  morning  he  unexpectedly 
met  an  older  brother,  a  sea  captain,  bound  for  his  home  in  Chatham, 
who  took  the  little  would-be  sailor  along  with  him.  He  was,  how- 
ever, bound  to  become  a  sailor  and  from  time  to  time  got  off  on  sea 
voyages  with  some  of  the  old  Cape  Cod  captains  who  admired  the 
boy's  grit.  At  seventeen  he  was  second  officer  with  Captain  Kendrick 
in  the  barque  Roderick  Dim  and  other  vessels.  Later  he  was  first 
officer  with  Capt.  Theophilus  Snow  in  the  King  Otho,  on  a  trading 
voyage  up  the  Mediterranean.  This  vessel  was  named  in  honor  of 
the  King  of  Italy  and  while  in  an  Italian  port,  the  king  accepted  the 
captain's  invitation  and  was  entertained  on  board.  He  was  also 
first  officer  of  the  brig  Level,  which  carried  the  first  cargo  of  ice  to 
San  Salvador.  On  his  marriage  he  resolved  to  leave  the  sea,  hav- 
ing twice  circumnavigated  the  globe  and  having  spent  some  time 
also  in  Iceland  and  Greenland. 

Mr.  Doane  moved  to  Dorchester,  Mass.,  and  learned  the  carpenter 
and  builder's  trade.    He  built  the  first  seashore  house  at  Bar  Harbor, 


472  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

where  for  seven  years  he  was  employed  by  several  New  York  million- 
aires in  the  erection  of  their  beautiful  summer  residences.  He  did  a 
large  amount  of  work  for  J.  Montgomery  Sears  at  Bar  Harbor, 
Waterville,  N.  H.,  and  elsewhere.  He  resided  in  Holbrook,  Mass., 
for  fifteen  years  and  erected  many  buildings  in  Brockton  and  sur- 
rounding towns  and  cities. 

Mr.  Doane  enlisted  in  Co.  C,  32d  Mass.  Regt.,  in  Jan.,  1862,  the 
company  going  from  Dorchester,  Mass.,  to  Fort  Warren  for  garrison 
duty.  When  General  Banks  was  driven  from  Shenandoah  Valley,  this 
company  was  ordered  to  the  front  and  one  of  their  first  engagements 
was  at  Antietam  Bridge.  A  part  of  the  time  Mr.  Doane  was  on  de- 
tached duty  and  connected  with  the  general  supply  train.  Being  one 
of  the  oldest  men,  he  was  ordered  to  attend  the  wounded  of  his  com- 
pany in  most  of  the  engagements  in  which  they  participated.  While 
retreating  from  Richmond  to  Harrison's  Landing,  he  suffered  much 
from  carbuncles  on  his  hands  which  the  army  surgeon  had  lanced. 
From  that  time  his  right  arm  became  so  stiff  he  could  barely  move 
his  elbow,  which  in  time  became  nearly  useless.  He  was  a  member 
of  the  Holbrook  Post,  G.  A.  R.,  and  of  the  Fletcher  Webster  Post 
of  Brockton.

531  HARVEY8  DOANE  (Harvey,7  Nehemiah,6  Thomas,5 
Thomas,4  Thomas,3  Ephraim,- John1)  was  born  atBarrington,  N.  S., 
Dec.  6,  1826  and  died  there  Aug.  23,  1901  (buried  in  Forest 
Hills  cemetery).  He  married  Oct.  30,  1854,  Sarah  Wilson  Cunning- 
ham, who  was  born  at  Barrington,  Sept.  11,  1830,  the  daughter  of 
William  Cunningham.  His  opportunities  in  his  native  town  for 
school  education  were  very  limited,  but  with  an  energy  characteristic 
of  the  man,  he  educated  himself,  in  a  large  measure,  for  his  calling 
as  a  mariner  and  business  man,  and  won  his  certificates  as  master  of 
both  sail  and  steam  ships.  He  became  one  of  the  ablest  and  best 
known  sea-captains  of  the  Maritime  Provinces.  Starting  on  a  sea- 
faring life  when  a  mere  boy  of  eleven,  he  rapidly  rose  to  the  position 
of  master  before  he  was  twenty-one  years  old,  and  while  yet  a  very 
young  man  was  in  command  of  the  following  named  vessels  in 
foreign  trade:  ship,  Entered  Apprentice;  barks,  Nugget,  Josephine, 
Royal  Arch  and  Knight ;  brigs,  Rose,  Pilgrim,  Premier,  and  perhaps 
others.  Captain  Doane  was  the  better  and  more  widely  known,  how- 
ever, as  the  commander  of  steamships  plying  between  Boston  and 


474  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

ports  of  the  Maritime  Provinces  and  between  ports  along  the  south 
coast  of  Nova  Scotia.  From  about  January,  1867  to  1869,  he  was 
in  charge  of  steamers  Commerce,  Empress,  Island  City  and  others  of 
the  New  England  Steam  Ship  Company,  sailing  between  Boston, 
Halifax  and  Ckarlottetown.  From  1870  to  1881  he  was  in  command 
of  steamers  M.  A.  Starr  and  Edgar  Stuart  of  the  Fishwick  line,  be- 
tween Halifax,  Yarmouth  and  intermediate  ports,  and  from  1881  to 
1884  he  was  captain  of  the  New  Brunswick,  Cleopatra  and  perhaps 
other  boats  of  the  International  Steam  Ship  Company.  During  sev- 
eral of  the  last  years  of  his  life  he  was  employed  in  different  capaci- 
ties from  time  to  time,  by  the  Yarmouth  Steam  Ship  Company,  of 
which  company  he  was  a  director  and  a  large  shareholder.  He  was 
marine  superintendent  of  the  lines,  a  position  for  which  his  practical 
knowledge  and  long  experience  peculiarly  fitted  him,  and  on  the 
death  of  the  Hon.  L.  E.  Baker  he  was  offered  the  presidency  of  the 
company,  but  declined  the  position  owing  to  his  advancing  years. 
In  1886,  he  and  Mr.  Baker  purchased  the  steamer  City  of  St.  John, 
for  the  South  Shore  route,  but  on  the  arrival  from  Glasgow,  Scotland, 
of  the  company's  new  steel  steamer,  Yarmoxdli,  the  South  Shore  line 
was  amalgamated  withvthe  Boston  line  and  Captain  Doane  was  placed 
in  charge  of  the  new  ship,  and  when,  in  1890,  the  company  decided 
to  build  a  larger  and  faster  boat  for  the  Boston  route,  he  was  sent  to 
Glasgow  to  superintend  the  building  of  the  Boston.  He  brought  out 
the  new  boat  to  Yarmouth  in  Dec,  1890,  and  then,  after  a  service 
covering  nearly  half  a  century,  retired  from  the  sea,  taking  the  com- 
pany's agency  at  Barrington.  In  Barrington,  the  place  of  his  birth 
and  his  home,  Captain  Doane  was  always  a  citizen  of  public  spirit.  In 
politics  he  was  a  Liberal  and  on  several  occasions  was  offered  a  nom- 
ination for  a  seat  in  the  Provincial  Legislature,  but  never  could  be 
induced  to  accept  a  nomination.  In  1865,  he  was  appointed  captain 
of  a  company  in  the  Nova  Scotia  militia  and  held  the  office  until  the 
company  disbanded,  and  in  1889  he  was  appointed  by  the  govern- 
ment a  commissioner  of  schools,  and  served  in  the  office  until  his 
death.  He  joined  Zetland  Lodge  of  Free  Masons  at  Liverpool,  N.  S., 
in  1855  and  ever  afterward  continued  in  good  standing  in  the 
order,  being  a  prominent  member  of  Philadelphia  Lodge  at  Barring- 
ton. He  and  his  family  attended  the  Presbyterian  church.  As  is 
implied  by  the  responsible  positions  he  occupied,  Capt.  Harvey 
Doane  was  a  man  of  sound  judgment,  of  more  than  average  busi- 
ness ability,  of  wide  experience  and  of  a  remarkable  record  as  a 


DESCENDANTS    OF    DEA.    JOHN    DOANE.  475 

shipmaster.  He  encountered  many  dangers  incident  to  a  mariner's 
life  and  passed  through  many  thrilling  experiences,  but  during  all 
those  years  on  the  seas,  he  never  lost  a  man,  never  had  a  serious  ac- 
cident and  never  cost  the  underwriters  one  dollar  of  expense. 

"  Square  built,  hearty  and  strong 
With  an  odor  of  ocean  about  him," 

he  won  his  popularity  by  his  kindly,  courteous  manner,  the  confi- 
dence and  esteem  of  the  travelling  public  by  his  marked  skill  and 
mature  judgment.  The  pioneer  in  steamboating  along  the  rugged 
south  coast  of  Nova  Scotia,  thoroughly  conversant  with  every  detail 
of  steam  navigation,  he  never  made  a  blunder  and  his  gallant  ships 
under  his  skilful  guidance  safely  carried  over  the  billows,  through 
fog  and  storm,  the  hundreds  of  lives  weekly  committed  to  his  care.

NINTH   GENERATION. 


533  LEWIS9  SCOTT  (Lucy  Ann8  Doane,  Seth  B.,?  Edward,6 
Noah,5  Solomon,4  Samuel,3  John,-  John1)  was  born  at  Glasford,  111., 
Nov.  28,  1856.  He  married  July,  1888,  May  Hartman.  After  a 
course  of  studies  at  the  State  Normal  School,  Normal,  111.,  Mr.  Scott 
went,  in  1877,  to  Bourbon  Co.,  Kan.,  where  he  spent  two  years 
farming  in  summers  and  teaching  in  winters  in  the  town  of  Mar- 
maton.  He  then  entered  the  Kansas  Normal  College  and  completed 
the  scientific  course.  Leaving  college  he  accepted  for  one  year  the 
principalship  of  the  East  Fort  school  after  which  he  was  principal  of 
the  Marysville  school  at  Marshall.  The  next  five  years  he  was  prin- 
cipal of  the  Axtel  schools  in  the  same  county,  where  he  established 
a  school  library  of  five  hundred  volumes.  Up  to  this  time  he  had 
taken  no  part  in  politics  other  than  exercising  his  right  of  suffrage  as 
a  patriotic  American  citizen.  Upon  a  canvass  of  the  prominent  edu- 
cators of  the  county,  Mr.  Scott  was  decided  upon  as  the  man  best 
fitted  by  education  and  experience  to  make  a  campaign,  on  the  Dem- 
ocratic ticket,  for  county  superintendent  of  schools.  Believing  that 
politics  should  have  no  place  in  the  selection  of  a  man  for  this  position, 
he  made  the  race  on  an  Independent  ticket,  and  was  elected  in  1888 
by  a  large  majority.  He  served  two  years  and  was  reelected, the  schools 
having  greatly  improved  under  his  wise  and  skilful  management.  At 
the  close  of  his  second  term  of  service  he  retired  from  educational 
work  and  settled  on  his  fine  farm  near  Marysville.  Three  of  their 
seven  children  survive.  Six  orphan  children  have  found  a  home 
beneath  their  hospitable  roof.  While  Mr.  Scott  is  not  a  member  of 
any  church,  he  has  taken  the  Bible  for  his  guide  and  conscientiously 
endeavors  to  follow  its  teachings,  and  in  his  busy  and  peaceful  life 
he  and  his  estimable  wife  live  to  do  good  to  their  fellowmeu. 

534  GEORGE  WASHINGTON9  SCOTT  (Lucy  Anns  Doane, 
Seth  B.,7  Edward,6  Noah,5  Solomon,'1  Samuel,3  John,2  John1)  was 
born  in  Glasford,  111.,  Jan.  20,  1863.  He  married  at  Kansas  City, 
Mo.,  Dec.  31,  1885,  Margaret  McAvoy.     Mr.  Scott  was  the  ninth 

(477) 


478  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

child  of  Shadrach  L.  and  Lucy  Ann  (Doane)  Scott,  and  has  the 
unique  distinction  of  having  named  himself  before  his  numerous 
relatives  could  hit  upon  a  name  satisfactory  to  all.  Having  chosen 
the  name  George  Washington,  he  early  learned  to  admire  and  imi- 
tate the  Father  of  his  Country  in  love  of  truth  and  right,  home  and 
country.  At  six  years  of  age  he  entered  school  where  he  listened 
with  delight  to  the  recital  by  the  older  pupils  of  the  stories  of  George 
Washington  and  his  hatchet,  Washington  at  Valley  Forge  and  par- 
ticularly to  stories  of  the  Indians.  So  deep  an  impression  was  made 
upon  his  young  mind  by  those  lessons  of  history  that,  in  the  summer 
of  1874,  at  the  age  of  eleven  years,  he  set  off  for  the  West  to  "fight 
Indians."  A  telegram  intercepted  the  runaway  and  he  returned 
home,  where  the  love  of  his  mother  and  kind  counsel  of  his  father 
soon  developed  in  him  higher  aspirations.  At  twelve  years  of  age 
he  earned  his  first  money,  one  dollar,  by  cutting  corn,  and  at  four- 
teen years  he  earned  one  dollar  and  fifty  cents  per  day  in  the  harvest 
fields.  At  seventeen  years  a  desire  for  a  better  education  induced 
his  father  to  give  him  whatever  money  he  earned  and  after  a  short 
time  he  was  enabled  to  enter  the  Kansas  Normal  School  at  Fort 
Scott  and  take  a  course  of  studies.  Leaving  school  he  returned  to 
Illinois  and  engaged  in  agricultural  pursuits.  In  the  latter  part  of 
1885,  Mr.  Scott  was  married  and  started  West  upon  a  wedding  trip. 
At  Garden  City  they  saw  the  destruction  of  thousands  of  cattle  that 
had  fallen  before  a  blizzard  which  had  swept  the  plains  with  terrific 
force  a  few  days  previous.  Here  they  made  a  short  stop  at  a 
"shack"  or  half-way  house,  where  the  "bill  of  fare"  consisted  of 
roast  antelope,  corn  bread  and  black  coffee,  and  here  too  they  beheld 
with  wonder  that  weird  and  startling  illusion — a  mirage.  They  con- 
tinued as  far  as  Scott  City,  some  fifty  miles  distant,  where  they  lived 
a  short  time,  but  later  made  a  settlement  in  Greeley  Co.,  Kan.,  their 
home  being  in  a  dug-out,  or  sod  house,  common  in  that  section  of 
the  country.  Here  the  drought  in  summer  and  blizzards  in  winter 
blighted  their  hopes,  and  here  amid  the  wild,  strange  scenes  of  west- 
ern life  their  first  child,  Ralph,  was  born.  After  two  years  of  hard- 
ship endured  in  a  life  on  the  prairie,  Mr.  Scott  removed  with  his  wife 
and  son  to  the  village  of  Tribune,  Kan.,  and  entered  for  a  time  with 
much  success  into  the  real  estate  and  loan  business,  which  at  that 
time  was  "booming."  Later,  closing  his  business,  he  returned  to 
Illinois  and  settled  on  a  farm  in  Glasford.  Mr.  Scott  has  travelled 
much  in  the  West,  made  the  ascent  of  Pike's  Peak,  visited  Niagara

etc.,  while  attending  to  his  various  business  interests.  For  the  past 
ten  years  he  has  been  a  successful  teacher  of  public  schools,  his 
schools  having  been  awarded  the  highest  honors  and  first  prizes,  and

politics  Mr.  Scott  is  a  Democrat.  He  has  two  sons,  Ralph  and 
Harry. 

535  MINERVA9  PARKER  (Amanda  M.8  Doane,  SethB.,7  Ed- 
ward,6 Noah,5  Solomon,4  Samuel,3  John,2  John1)  was  born  at  Chi- 
cago, 111.,  May  14,  1861.  She  married  at  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  Dec.  22, 
1891,  Rev.  William  I.  Nichuls,  a  prominent  Unitarian  clergyman,  now 
of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.  Mrs.  Nichols  began  her  education  in  the  Illinois 
Normal  Primary  School,  continued  it  in  the  Convent  School  at  Du- 
buque, la.,  and  in  Chicago.  She  chose  architecture  as  her  field  of 
work  and  her  selection  of  this  profession  was  not  the  result  of  acci- 
dent, but  rather  a  matter  of  inheritance  from  her  maternal  grand- 
father, Seth  B.  Doane  (270),  a  well  known  ship  designer  and  archi- 
tect. She  received  her  art  education  at  the  Philadelphia  School  of 
Design  for  Women,  and  after  graduation  spent  some  years  in  an  ar- 
chitect's office  in  order  to  learn  the  practical  details  of  the  profession. 
From  the  outset  of  her  career  she  made  the  building  of  homes  a  spec- 
ialty, and  many  beautiful  houses  in  Philadelphia  and  elsewhere  tes- 
tify to  her  taste  and  skill  as  an  architect.  Not  only  has  she  designed 
these  houses,  but  in  almost  every  case  has  superintended  their  erec- 
tion. Of  her  work  a  building  contractor  once  said, "  she  is  the  most 
particular  and  knowing  person  to  work  for,  I  ever  struck.  She  knows 
every  brick  and  just  where  it  should  go,  there's  no  such  thing  as  cheat- 
ing her  I  tell  you,  for  she  knows  not  only  her  own  business,  but  mine 
too."  Beside  houses,  Mrs.  Nichols  has  built  several  factories  in  Phil- 
adelphia, the  Woman's  Club  House  in  A-Vilmiugton,  Del.,  and  the 
Woman's  Club  House  in  Philadelphia,  which  was  erected  at  a  cost 
of  $40,000,  and  is  one  of  the  ornamental  features  of  the  city,  attract- 
ing much  attention  to  the  first  woman  architect  in  the  country.  Mrs. 
Nichols  enjoys  the  distinction  of  being  selected  as  designer  of  the 
Queen  Isabella  Pavilion  in  connection  with  the  World's  Fair,  at 
Chicago.  In  her  husband's  parish,  her  work  is  steadfast  and  unre- 
mitting, and  in  the  woman's  club  she  is  the  leading  spirit.  They  have

538  WILLIAM  HOWARDS  DOANE  (Joseph  Howes,8  John,7 
Joseph,6  Joseph,5  Elisha,4  Hezekiah,3  Ephraim,2  John1)  was  born  at 
Preston,  Conn.,  Feb.  3,  1832.  He  married  Nov.  2,  1857,  Frances 
Mary  Treat,  who  was  born  at  Preston,  Apr.  15,  1832,  the  daughter 
of  James  Stanton  and  Frances  (Witter)  Treat. 

After  attending  the  village  school  and  graduating  from  Woodstock 
Academy  in  1848,  he  entered  upon  his  business  career  in  the  counting- 
room  of  Doane  &  Treat,  Cotton  Manufacturers,  at  Norwich,  Conn. 
About  three  years  later  he  took  charge  of  the  books  and  finances  of  J. 
A.  Fay  &  Co.,  whose  main  office  was  then  in  Norwich,  and  his  super- 
ior business  ability  was  so  manifest  and  so  practically  recognized  by 
his  employers  that,  in  1856,  he  was  sent  to  Chicago  to  superintend 
the  western  branch  of  their  business.  In  1860  he  became  a  partner 
31 


482  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

in  the  concern  and,  on  the  death  of  Mr.  Fay,  in  1861,  he  became  the 
manager  of  its  general  interests,  with  offices  at  Cincinnati,  where  he 
has  since  resided.  The  growth  and  extension  of  this  business  concern, 
whose  shops  were  located  on  Front  and  Johns  streets,  Cincinnati,  in 
1852,  are  recognized  as  having  been  extensive  factors  in  the  develop- 
ment of  that  city,  and  through  the  period  of  his  long  residence  there 
Mr.  Doane  has  been  everywhere  hailed  as  one  of  Cincinnati's  most 
prominent  manufacturers  and  business  men,  as  well  as  the  builder 
and  successful  manager  of  the  largest  concern  of  its  kind  in  this 
country,  of  which  he  was  the  active  head  until  he  retired  from  the 
business  on  its  recent  consolidation  with  another  enterprise.  During 
these  years  Mr.  Doane's"  genius  for  inventing  had  manifested  itself, 
and  he  had  originated  many  new  pieces  of  machinery  and  made  nu- 
merous improvements  on  machinery  already  in  use,  which  made  him 
as  valuable  to  the  company  in  its  mechanical  department  as  in  its  busi- 
ness offices.  The  machinery  he  has  invented  and  manufactured  is 
everywhere  in  use,  and  the  name  of  W.  H.  Doane,  inventor  and  man- 
ufacturer, is  known  in  every  American  and  European  manufacturing 
center.  His  long  experience  in  this  business  has  afforded  great  oppor- 
tunities for  study,  and  it  may  be  said  there  is  no  higher  authority  than 
he  on  the  state  of  the  art  in  this  line.  He  has  contributed,  perhaps, 
more  than  any  other  one  man  to  the  success  of  the  wood- working 
machinery  industry,  a  fact  recognized  by  honors  at  home  and  abroad. 
A  distinction,  which  is  rarely  given  to  a  citizen  of  a  foreign  nation, 
was  conferred  upon  him  in  1889,  when,  at  the  Paris  Exposition,  he 
met  the  manufacturers  of  Europe  on  their  own  ground  and,  in  compe- 
tition with  the  leading  manufacturers  of  his  class  of  the  world  com- 
bined, carried  off  the  "  Grand  Prix,"  and  was  himself  decorated  with 
the  cross  of  the  Legion  of  Honor,  by  the  government  of  France.  He 
is  a  director  in  many  enterprises  and  a  fellow  of  the  American  Soci- 
ety of  Mechanical  Engineers,  the  American  Society  of  Mining  Engi 
neers,  American  Geographical  Society,  American  Society  for  the 
Advancement  of  Science,  American  Archaeological  Society,  a  Cheva- 
lier in  the  Legion  of  Honor,  France,  etc. 

It  truly  takes  a  man  of  strong  mind  and  great  force  of  character  to 
lead  successfully  two  lives  at  the  same  time.  With  large  business 
interests  on  his  mind,  it  seems  remarkable  that  Mr.  Doane  should 
have  attained  great  eminence  in  music,  but  he  is  well  and  popularly 
known  throughout  America  and  Europe  as  an  excellent  composer  of 
music,  especially  Sunday-school  music.     He  had  high  and  noble  as-

pirations,  and  the  work  that  he  has  accomplished,  in  his  avocation  of 
writing  Sunday-school  music,  has  been  of  far  greater  benefit  to  man- 
kind than  he  ever  could  have  accomplished  by  giving  himself  up 
entirely  to  business.  The  musical  genius  that  was  in  him  would  not 
be  stilled,  although  frowned  upon  by  his  father,  who  always  objected 
to  "musical  desires"  and  insisted  that  a  "musical  man" was  not  good 
for  anything,  yet  the  boy's  genius  asserted  itself  at  every  stage  in  his 
career  and  made  him  prominent  in  musical  circles  while  still  young 
in  years.  When  very  young  he  would  be  placed  in  a  chair  to  sing 
songs  for  visitors,  such  as  "Sweet  land  of  rest  for  Thee  I  sigh," 
"Praise  ye  the  Lord,"  "Before  Jehovah's  awful  Throne"  and  "Where 
now  are  the  Hebrew  Children?"  At  six  years  of  age  he  attended  his 
first  country  singing  school.  Being  too  small  to  sit  with  the  singers, 
he  took  a  seat  in  the  corner  and  listened  while  they  learned  the  "Fa- 
sol-la"  of  those  primitive  days.  An  older  brother  and  sister  being 
among  the  favored  ones,  in  due  time  the  singing  master  came  to  the 
Doane  family  mansion  to  stay  all  night ;  with  violin  in  hand  he  pro- 
ceeded to  try  their  voices.  After  the  older  ones  had  concluded  their 
trial  exercises,  little  Willie  stepped  up  to  the  master  and  said  "try 
me."  In  the  kindness  of  his  heart  the  teacher  did  so.  After  the 
effort,  he  said  with  surprise,  "why,  this  little  fellow  has  it  perfect." 
And  so  this  "little  fellow"  was  placed  among  the  alto  singers, 
though  he  could  but  just  read.  He  progressed  rapidly,  and  at 
twelve  years  of  age  he  played  the  flute  in  the  village  choir.  A  little 
later  he  was  the  owner  of  a  violin,  a  present  from  his  Uncle  Treat, 
afterwards  his  father-in-law.  At  thirteen  the  growing  lad  was  ready 
for  the  big  double  bass  fiddle,  which  he  used  in  the  same  village 
choir.  At  fourteen  years  on  going  to  the  academy  at  Woodstock, 
he  was  appointed  leader  of  the  academy  choir  and  during  his  whole 
course  of  instruction  led  the  singing.  At  sixteen  he  rented  an  old- 
fashioned  seraphine  which  he  afterwards  bought  and  played  upon  in 
the  church.  In  the  years  of  1848-9,  he  led  the  choir  of  the  Baptist 
church  in  Voluntown,  Conn.  About  this  time  he  began  to  study 
music  under  the  best  teachers  of  the  day.  During  these  years  of 
patient  study  he  taught  many  singing  schools,  having  at  one  time  as 
many  as  seven,  one  for  each  evening  in  the  week.  In  1852-3-4,  he 
was  conductor  of  the  Norwich  Harmonic  Society  and  conducted 
many  musical  conventions  in  various  localities.  In  1848  he  wrote 
his  first  piece  of  music,  entitled  "The  Grave  beneath  the  Willow" 
and  dedicated  it  to  his  school  friend  and  playmate  Miss  Fannie  M. 


484  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

Treat.  A  pretty  little  romance  ended  when  Miss  Treat  became  Mrs. 
W.  Howard  Doane.  Early  in  his  career,  Mr.  Doane  wrote  songs  and 
glees  and  was  by  taste  and  ambition  directing  his  mind  to  classical 
compositions.  At  this  time  a  remarkable  religious  experience  led 
him  to  consecrate  his  talent  to  Sunday-school  music.  He  had  been 
repeatedly  asked  to  write  "hymn-tunes"  but  like  many  other  musi- 
cians had  an  aversion  thereto.  At  length,  in  1862,  he  was  taken  sick 
with  heart  disease  and  by  his  physician's  direction  went  to  Plainfield, 
Conn.,  for  his  health,  remaining  several  months.  When  returning 
home,  apparently  improved  in  health,  he  had  a  very  severe  relapse 
and  came  near  dying  on  the  cars.  With  his  wife  he  left  the  train  at 
Lockport,  N.  Y.  While  there  the  conviction  of  his  duty  to  write 
sacred  melodies  pressed  upon  him  and  viewing  his  physical  condition, 
and  considering  his  neglected  duty,  he  solemnly  vowed  to  the  Lord, 
that,  if  spared,  time  and  talents  should  be  devoted  to  His  service  in 
this  work.  From  that  day  he  began  to  mend  and  was  soon  entirely 
recovered.  The  vow  then  made  has  been  sacredly  kept.  He  is 
always  making  music.  From  the  songs  of  birds  and  the  floating 
strains  that  fall  upon  the  ear,  he  catches  inspiration.  Upon  the  cars 
or  in  the  boat,  he  thinks  out  melodies.  Mountain  roads,  stage 
coaches,  carriages, — all  become  for  him  a  study.  A  large  number  of 
special  songs  have  been  written  for  notable  gatherings  and  some  of 
his  most  popular  pieces  have  been  born  upon  the  wing.  While  cross- 
ing the  White  Mountains  (from  Glen  to  Crawford  House)  on  top  of 
a  stage-coach,  he  composed  "The  Old,  Old  Story,"  and  on  that  same 
evening  it  was  sung,  for  the  first  time,  in  the  parlors  of  the  Craw- 
ford House,  by  H.  Thane  Miller  and  others  of  the  party.  "At 
the  Joppa  Gate"  was  written  in  1890,  soon  after  passing  through 
that  celebrated  gate  at  Jerusalem.  "Safe  in  the  Arms  of  Jesus" 
was  written  on  the  train  between  Philadelphia  and  New  York,  and 
first  sung  that  evening  in  the  parlors  of  the  St.  Denis  Hotel.  In 
1867,  while  attending  the  American  Institute  Fair  in  New  York 
city,  "More  like  Jesus"  was  written  for  W.  C.  Van  Meter,  then  of 
the  world-renowned  Howard  Mission,  later  of  Rome,  Italy,  who 
came  to  see  him  in  order  to  obtain  an  original  tune  for  the  coming 
anniversary  (a  few  days  hence)  of  his  mission.  Mr.  Doane  did  not 
have  any  hymns  and  so  told  him.  Just  then  a  boy  entered  the  room 
bearing  a  letter  addressed  to  W.  H.  Doane.  Upon  opening  it  he 
found  the  hymn,  "More  like  Jesus,"  and  the  following  note: 

Mr.  Doane  :     I  feel  impressed  to  send  you  this  hymn ;  may  God 
bless  it !     Fanny  Crosby. 


DESCENDANTS  OF  DEA.  JOHN  DOANE.  485 

The  tune,  as  it  is  now  sung  all  over  the  world,  was  quickly  com- 
posed and  first  used  at  the  Howard  Mission  Anniversary.  On  the 
first  opportunity  Mr.  Doane  went  to  see  the  writer  of  the  hymn.  He 
found  her  in  an  upper  story  in  a  tenement  house.  She  was  poor  and 
blind.  As  he  announced  his  name  she  said,  "  I  thought  you  would 
come."  On  learning  her  condition  he  handed  her  a  twenty  dollar 
note  and  when  she  heard  the  amount  she  exclaimed,  "Oh!  that  is 
too  much  !  My  rent  is  just  due,  and  this  more  than  pays  it !  The 
Lord  sent  it !"  This  was  his  first  introduction  to  Fanny  Crosby. 
She  has  since  written  many,  many  hymns  for  W.  Howard  Doane ; 
among  them  are  "  Pass  Me  Not,"  "  Rescue  the  Perishing,"  "  Draw 
Me  Nearer,"  "  Every  Day  and  Every  Hour,"  "  Tell  it  with  Joy," 
"  A  Few  More  Weary  Marchings,"  "  The  Prodigal  Child  "  and  scores 
of  others  which  are  endeared  to  Christian  hearts  all  over  this  and 
other  lands,  some  of  which  have  been  translated  into  more  than  twenty 
different  languages.  The  peculiar  charm  of  his  music  is  its  devo- 
tional character.  He  never  publishes  a  tune  which  does  not  move 
his  own  heart.  His  idea  of  music  for  church  and  Sunday-school  is 
to  praise  God  and  approach  him  in  prayer,  not  merely  to  display 
vocal  culture.  His  first  book  Sabbath  School  Gems  appeared  in  1862, 
followed  by  Little  Sxmbeams  in  1864  and  in  1867  came  that  notable 
book  Silver  Spray,  which  has  had  the  phenomenal  sale  of  over 
300,000  copies.  A  little  later  he  and  Rev.  Robert  Lowry  were  asso- 
ciated as  joint  editors  of  the  following  works,  which  were  issued  in 
quick  succession  :  Pure  Gold,  Royal  Diadem,  Temple  Anthems,  Tidal 
Wave,  Brightest  and  Best,  Welcome  Tidings,  Glad  Hosannas,  Foun- 
tain of  Song,  Glad  Refrain,  Joyful  Lays,  Bright  Array,  etc.  Mr. 
Doane  edited  Songs  of  Devotion  and  The  Baptist  Hymnal,  which 
have  been  generally  adopted  by  the  churches  of  the  Baptist  denomi- 
nation. His  later  books  are  :  Sunny  Side  Songs,  Songs  of  the  King- 
dom, Notes  of  Gladness,  etc.  Since  1868,  his  name  has  been  asso- 
ciated as  author  with  many  musical  works  and  a  considerable  amount 
of  song  and  ballad  music.  He  fairly  popularized  the  Christmas 
Cantata,  by  the  issue  of  one  called  Santa  Claus;  and  his  other  con- 
tributions of  this  class,  St.  Nicholas'  Visit,  Night  of  Glory,  Immanuel, 
Frost  Queen  and  Santa  Glaus,  Santa  Claus  and  the  Fairies,  The  Wise 
Men  of  the  East  and  many  others  have  found  great  favor.  The  cir- 
culation of  books  bearing  his  name  has  been  world-wide  and  the 
copies  sold  are  counted  by  millions.  In  1875,  Dennison  University 
bestowed  upon  Mr.  Doane  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Music.      His

study  or  music-room  is  an  unique  feature  of  his  beautiful  home 
"  Sunny  Side"  on  Mt.  Auburn,  in  Cincinnati,  which  home  is  as  com- 
plete in  all  respects  as  taste,  culture,  research  and  money  can  make 
it.  In  the  transom  over  the  entrance  to  the  study  is  wrought  in 
ground  glass  in  musical  characters,  the  opening  strains  of  Home, 
Sweet  Home.  On  the  ceiling  inside  are  frescoed  bits  of  celebrated 
musical  composition,  beautifully  and  artistically  arranged.  Fine 
paintings,  mostly  of  musical  subjects,  adorn  the  walls  and  here  is  en- 
shrined his  wonderful  collection  of  antique  musical  instruments,  rep- 
resenting nearly  every  country  on  the  globe,  among  which  are  seen 
instruments  from  Herculaueum,  Grecian  lyres,  Shepherd  pipes  from 
near  Jerusalem,  Abyssinian  drums,  Tom  -toms,  Rams'  Horns  and 
about  everything  that  has  added  to  music  since  its  birth  in  the  crea- 
tion, besides  pianos,  harps  and  other  modern  instruments.  Here  is 
also  a  grand  pipe  organ  run  by  water  motor  and  over  it,  in  fresco  are 
four  measures  from  the  Hallelujah  chorus.  The  library  is  one  of  the 
finest  of  its  kind  in  America  containing  vellum  MSS.  dating  from 
the  eighth  century,  facsimiles  of  the  original  score  of  Handel's  Mes- 
siah and  original  MSS.  and  autographs  of  nearly  all  the  old  masters 
and  modern  composers.  It  is  here  in  his  home,  amidst  such  sur- 
roundings, when  relieved  from  business  cares  in  the  evening  that 
most  of  his  music  has  been  written ;  yet  he  is  never  without  a  little 
note  book  in  which  to  jot  down,  wherever  he  may  be,  the  impressions 
that  come  to  him. 

At  the  close  of  the  Paris  Exposition,  Mr.  Doane  and  his  family 
spent  two  years  in  a  tour  of  Europe,  Africa  and  Asia  Minor,  visiting 
first  Spain,  thence  to  the  historic  places  of  Italy.  Leaving  Italy, 
the  land  of  the  Pharaohs  was  visited  and  the  mysterious  Nile  was 
ascended  as  far  as  the  first  cataract.  From  Egypt  they  passed 
through  the  Suez  Canal  to  Palestine,  across  the  Lebanon  Mountains, 
to  Damascus,  thence  to  Beyrout  in  Syria  and  from  there  to  Smyrna, 
Athens  and  Constantinople.  The  Bosphorus  and  Black  Sea  were 
sailed  through,  Russia,  Finland,  Denmark,  Norway  and  Sweden, 
Holland,  Austria  and  the  British  Isles  were  visited  ere  the  wanderers 
returned  home,  laden  with  new  instruments  of  music  to  add  to  the 
immense  collection  at  Sunny  Side. 

While  at  school  at  Woodstock,  Mr.  Doane  went  regularly  every 
Sunday  two  miles  to  the  Baptist  church,  the  church  of  his  mother's 
faith.  In  the  spring  of  1847,  a  revival  was  held  by  pastor  Elder  J. 
Payne,  and  the  little  walk  of  four  miles  after  the  day's  recitations  to

and  from  the  place  of  meeting  was  cheerfully  done  by  this  young 
man.  At  one  of  these  meetings  he  was  converted  and  immediately 
commenced  an  active  part  in  religious  work.  Two  fellow  students, 
a  Baptist  and  a  Presbyterian,  with  himself  formed  an  active  co- 
partnership and  held  meetings  in  the  Academy  during  which  time 
some  fifty  or  sixty  were  led  to  Christ.  Four  years  later  he  was  bap- 
tized and  received  by  the  Rev.  Frederick  Dennison  into  the  fellow- 
ship of  the  Central  Baptist  church  at  Norwich.  He  is  now  an  active 
member  of  the  Mt.  Auburn  Baptist  Church  in  Cincinnati.  The 
secret  of  his  success  is,  every  minute  well  employed.  Busy  every 
day  he  is  busier  every  Sunday.  Bethesda  Mission,  which  he  superin- 
tends and  largely  supports,  claims  the  early  morning  hours,  then 
church  at  11a.  m.  and  at  3  p.  m.  to  the  Church  Sunday-school,  of 
which  he  has  been  superintendent  for  more  than  thirty  years.  He  is 
very  fond  of  children  with  whom  he  is  a  great  favorite,  and  it  is 
worth  an  effort  of  a  long  journey  to  hear  him  lead  them  in  singing. 
He  is  known  as  a  most  liberal  man  and  his  benefactions  have  been 
neither  few  nor  stinted.  Prominent  among  them  is  Doane  Library 
Hall,  given  to  Dennison  University  in  1878.  With  the  late  John 
Church,  he  donated  the  large  pipe  organ  in  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Hall  in 
Cincinnati,  it  being  called  Silver  Spray  Organ,  as  it  was  purchased 
with  some  of  the  revenue  from  that  singing  book.  In  1894  he  gave 
the  $40,000  Academy  Hall  to  Dennison  University,  which  has  been 
named  Doane  Academy  in  his  honor.  None  but  his  intimate  friends 
know  of  the  hundreds  of  gifts  given  each  year  to  the  poor,  and  all 
of  the  income  from  his  music  and  much  from  his  business  are  devoted 
to  christian  work.  He  is  an  active  worker  and  generous  supporter 
of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A,  and  gives  his  support  to  every  measure  for  the 
general  good.  He  owns  a  cottage  upon  spacious  grounds  at  Watch 
Hill,  R.  I.,  where  he  spends  the  summer  months  each  year,  and  en- 
tertains distinguished  guests.

cester Co.,  Md.,  Sarah  Martin,  the  daughter  of  Robert  and  Sarah 
(Downes)  Martin  from  Galloway,  Scotland.  Only  a  very  little  is 
now  known  of  Doctor  Done,  but  it  is  claimed  that  he  was  a  sur- 
geon in  the  British  Navy,  that  he  came  to  Maryland  from  the  West 
India  Islands  and  settled  at  Snow  Hill  where  he  died.

General  Court  of  Maryland.  In  1806,  he  became  Associate  Judge, 
and  afterwards  Chief  Judge  of  the  County  Court.  He  was  made 
Judge  of  the  Court  of  Appeals  of  Maryland,  Dec.  14,  1812,  which 
office  he  resigned  after  a  severe  domestic  affliction,  and  retired  to  his 
farm  "  Nestegg"  near  Princess  Ann.  Subsequently  he  was  elected 
Clerk  of  the  Court  for   Somerset   County,  but   finally  removed   to

respected  and  beloved  for  his  sterling  character  and  many  amiable 
qualities.  He  was  endowed  by  nature  with  great  personal  beauty 
and  winning  manners,  and  found  a  congenial  spirit  in  his  wife,  whose 
cultured  mind  and  lovable  disposition  made  her  an  ornament  to  the 
society  of  the  Eastern  Shore.  "  Olney,"  their  hospitable  home  near 
Princess  Ann,  was  the  scene  of  many  social  gatherings,  frequented 
by  men  prominent  in  the  politics,  art  and  literature  of  the  day.  He 
served  a  term  in  the  State  Legislature,  and  died  at  Annapolis,  aged 
about  thirty-four  years.

gation  of  duty  or  affection,  gentle  and  ever  most  just  and 
considerate  of  others,  responsive  to  every  noble  appeal  to

promise,  beloved  by  all  who  knew  him.

4  JOHN  HAYNIE4  DONE  (William,3  John,2  Dr.  John1)  was 
born  in  1817  and  died  near  Chicago,  111.,  July  25,  1855  (buried  in 
cemetery  of  Presbyterian  church,  Princess  Aun) .  He  married,  in  1842, 
Rachel  A.  Kerr,  the  daughter  of  John  Leeds  and  Sarah  Holliday 
(Chamberlain)  Kerr  of  Easton,  Md.  Mr.  Done  graduated  at  Jeffer- 
son College,  Cannonsburg,  Pa.,  and  became  a  civil  engineer.  He  was 
employed  in  locating  the  line  of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  R.  R.,  then 
being  constructed  between  Baltimore  and  Wheeling.  That  work  be- 
ing temporarily  suspended,  he  returned  to  his  home  in  Princess  Ann 
and,  studying  law,  was  admitted  to  the  Bar.  He  first  settled  in  Snow 
Hill,  Worcester  Co.,  Md.,  but  later  moved  to  Princess  Ann,  where 
he  soon  took  a  leading  position  in  his  profession.  He  served  two 
terms  in  the  Legislature  and  was  active  in  furthering  the  two  great 
works  of  Internal  Improvement,  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  R.  R.,  and 
the  Chesapeake  and  Ohio  Canal,  then  under  construction,  and  the 
completion  of  which  meant  so  much  in  the  development  of  the  re- 
sources of  the  state.  In  1853  he  was  tendered  the  position  of  Master 
of  Transportation  of  the  B.  and  O.  R.  R.,  an  office  then  synonymous 
with  that  of  General  Superintendent.  Accepting  this  position,  he 
moved  his  family  to  Baltimore  and  entered  upon  the  duties  of  the 
office.  Such  was  his  energy  and  peculiar  talent  for  the  work,  that 
without  previous  experience  he  soon  reorganized  the  entire  Road,  in- 
fused his  spirit  into  every  department  and,  in  two  years,  more  than 
doubled  its  earnings.  At  this  period  the  Illinois  Central  R.  R.  was 
just  completing  its  line  through  the  State  of  Illinois  and  emigration 
was  pouring  in  from  Europe  and  the  Eastern  States.  Recognizing 
Mr.  Done's  great  abilities  for  the  work,  the  Directors  of  that  company 
urged  him  to  take  charge  of  their  property  as  General  Superintendent 
with  a  salary  of  $10,000,  which  was  then  considered  very  large.  Re- 
moving his  family  to  Chicago  in  the  winter  of  1854-5,  he  there  began 
a  career  as  Railway  Manager  that  easily  placed  him  at  the  head  of 
that  brilliant  coterie  of  men  whose  energy,  courage  and  fertility  of

resources  conquered  the  wilderness  and  founded  an  empire  upon  the 
treeless  plains.  In  the  midst  of  a  toil  of  a  well  spent  life  and  while 
planning  still  greater  developments  he  met  with  an  accident  on  his 
own  road  near  Chicago  and  was  carried  to  his  home  where  he  lived 
only  a  few  hours.  Thus  death  cut  short  a  life  devoted  to  good  works 
and  stilled  a  heart  "  full  of  all  blessed  conditions."  He  was  deeply 
religious  from  his  early  youth ;  an  elder  in  the  Presbyterian  church 
and  prominent  in  every  movement  for  the  relief  of  suffering  and 
distress.

Coll.,  grad.  at  the  Medical  school  of  the  University  of  New 
York;  served  two  years  in  Belle vue  Hospital  and  at  the 
expiration  of  his  term  established  himself  as  a  physician 
in  New  York  city.  Having  contracted  pneumonia,  he  was 
advised  to  seek  a  milder  climate  and  accordingly  sailed  for 
China  in  1866,  as  a  surgeon  in  the  employ  of  the  Pacific 
Mail  Steamship  Co.  He  subsequently  settled  in  Yokohama. 
Dr.  Done  was  a  skilful  physician,  a  man  of  brilliant  and 
well-stored  mind,  impatient  of  shams  and  keenly  appreci- 
ating the  true  and  good.  Of  most  pleasing  address  and 
courtly  manner,  he  possessed  to  a  marked  degree,  the  faculty 
of  winning  and  retaining  the  respect  and  affection  of  all 
who  knew  him ;  no  ch.

they  owned  a  house  and  bam,  about  twenty  acres  of  land  and  "  half

Sarah  Hariot  Sutcliffe  Atwood,  who  was  born  at  Hamilton  in  1820 
and  died  there  at  Greenwood  Cottage,  Jan.  5,  1889.  Both  were  bur- 
ied in  his  tomb,  in  the  yard  of  St.  John's  church,  Pembroke,  Ber- 
muda. She  was  highly  educated  and  a  well  informed  woman.  Her 
father,  Benjamin  Atwood,  was  an  educated  man  and  "  the  personifi- 
cation of  a  down  east  Yankee."  Her  grandfather,  Commodore  God- 
dard  Atwood,  owned  Atwood  Island,  one  of  the  Bahamas  and 
operated  his  fleet  of  vessels  during  the  Revolutionary  war  against 
the  British,  American  and  French  commerce.  He  died  somewhere  on 
the  Island  of  New  Providence.  After  his  death  his  widow,  Love 
Watkins,  returned  to  Bermuda  to  live  with  her  son  Benjamin. 

When  a  young  man  Mr.  Doane  came  from  England  to  Bermuda, 
where  he  met  and  married  his  wife.  He  told  his  children  that  he 
could  trace  his  line  of  ancestors  to  the  time  of  the  Danes  in  England. 
He  always  wrote  his  name  Doane,  but  stated  that  his  ancestors  spelled 
it  without  an  "  a."

THOMAS  DONE.  The  following  is  copied  from  Journals  of  New 
York  Provincial  Congress,  vol.  r,  1775-6-7,  pp.  949,  950  :  [May  31, 
1777].     The  petition  of  Thomas  Done,  to  wit: 

"  To  the  Honorable  The  Council  of  Safety  of  the  State  of  New  York. 

"  The  petition  of  Thomas  Done  humbly  sheweth :  That  in  January  in  the 
year  1775,  your  petitioner  enlisted  in  the  Massachusetts  Bay  levies,  which 
inarched  to  the  relief  of  our  troops  before  Quebec ;  that  at  the  expiration  of 
the  time  he  so  enlisted  (to  wit)  the  15th  of  April  following,  your  petitioner 
engaged  iu  the  service  of  this  State ;  and  entered  into  Capt.  Lamb's  com- 
pany of  artillery,  then  commanded  by  Capt.  Lieut.  Wool;  that  while  your  pe- 
titioner belonged  to  the  said  company  (to  wit)  on  the  first  day  of  May,  as 
he  was  on  duty  at  a  two-gun  battery  near  Charles  River,  he  was  wounded  by 
the  bursting  of  oue  of  our  own  cannon,  and  thereby  totally  lost  his  sight,  be- 
sides being  otherwise  greatly  injured;  that  on  the  Gth  of  May  your  petitioner 
was  taken  prisoner  and  remained  iu  captivity  until  last  fall,  when  he  was 
with  the  other  prisoners  sent  by  Genl.  Carlton  to  Elizabeth  Town;  that  your

petitioner  soon  after  applied  to  the  Honorable  John  Hancock,  President  of 
the  Congress,  for  relief,  who  directed  your  petitioner  to  repair  to  where  he 
first  entered  unto  the  service  of  these  States ;  that  accordingly  your  peti- 
tioner went  to  Alfred  in  the  Massachusetts  Bay  State,  where  the  committee 
refused  to  make  any  provision  for  him,  insisting  that  your  petitioner  ought 
to  be  provided  for  by  that  State  iu  whose  immediate  service  he  was  at  the 
time  he  received  his  wounds. 

"  Your  petitioner  therefore  humbly  begs  leave  to  lay  his  case  before  this 
Honorable  House,  praying  that  they  will  grant  him  such  relief  as  they  in 
their  wisdom  shall  see  tit.      And  your  petitioner  as  in  duty  bound  shall  ever 

pray,

Kingstone,  May  30,  1777.     The  examination  of  Thomas  Done: 

Says  he  was  born  at  Sheffield,  in  Yorkshire  iu  that  part  of  Great  Britain 
called  England  ;  that  he  was  a  pressed  man  on  board  the  Chatham,  a  50  gun 
ship  belonging  to  the  British  navy,  and  ran  away  from  her  at  the  Island  of 
Antigua ;  from  whence  by  different  conveyances  he  arrived  in  the  Massachu- 
setts Bay  State,  soon  after  the  death  of  General  Montgomerie,  where  he  en- 
listed two  or  three  days  after  his  arrival  in  the  Massachusetts  Bay  troops 
for  three  months'  service  and  proceeded  with  them  to  Quebec,  and  continued 
in  that  service  until  those  troops  were  discharged ;  and  thereupon  he  enlisted 
in  the  Continental  company  of  artillery  commanded  by  ("apt.  Lamb,  in 
which  service  he  lost  his  sight  as  mentioned  in  his  petition."  Resolved,  that 
this  State  will  for  the  present  make  some  provision  for  the  said  Thomas 
Done,  a  Continental  maimed  soldier,  agreeably  to  Continental  regulations 
for  that  purpose.  And  Ordered,  that  he  be  committed  to  the  care  of  the 
Secretaries  until  further  order;  that  they  or  one  of  them  disburse  some 
money  for  his  aid  and  support,  and  charge  this  State  with  the  same. 

WILLIAM  BADGER  DOANE  (son  of  Win.  and  Sarai  (Badger) 
Done,  grandson  of  Wm.  and  Anna  Done,  all  of  Shrewsbury,  Co. 
Shropshire,  Eng.)  was  born  at  Shrewsbury,  Nov.  1,  1862.  He  mar- 
ried Martha  Riley  and  resides  in  East  Boston,  Mass.  He  went  to  sea 
when  seventeen  years  old  and  made  fifty  voyages  on  S.  S.  Kansas, 
between  Liverpool  and  Boston.

Rev.  Samuel  Osborn  and  some  of  his  Descendants. 

1  SAMUEL1  OSBORN  was  born  probably  about  1685.  Accounts 
of  his  birthplace  and  place  of  education  are  conflicting.     The  Rev. 


APPENDIX.  499 

James  Freeman,  who  made  a  little  investigation  as  to  bis  life,  says, 
"he  was  born  in  Ireland  and  educated  in  the  University  of  Dublin." 
Israel  Doaue,  Sen.,  who  died  at  Argyle,  N.  S.,in  1844  aged  84  years, 
says  in  his  printed  pamphlet,  probably  on  authority  of  his  mother's 
statements,  that  his  grandfather  Samuel  Osborn  "was  born  of  Irish 
parents  in  Scotland  and  was  educated  at  Glasgow,  and  at  the  age  of 
twenty-two  years  came  over  to  America,  landing  in  Boston  in  New 
England."  From  a  pamphlet,  printed  in  1723,  entitled  A  Church  of 
Christ  Vindicated:  A  Short  and  Plain  Relation  of  Some  Transaction 
in  the  South  Church  at  Eastham,  we  learn  that  Mr.  Osborn  "came  over 
to  America  in  the  latter  end  of  October,  1707,  bringing  Letters  of 
Commendation  from  Ireland  subscribed  by  the  Rev.  Robert  Rainey, 
Pastor  of  a  Church  in  the  Lordship  of  Newry,  in  the  County  of 
Down."  The  earliest  public  record  of  Mr.  Osborn,  that  we  have 
found,  is  recorded  at  Edgartown,  Mass.,  and  is  that  of  his  marriage 
on  Jan.  1,  1710,  by  the  Rev.  Jonathan  Dunham,  to  Jedidah  Smith, 
daughter  of  Benjamin  and  Jedidah  (Mayhew)  Smith,  granddaughter 
of  Thomas  and  Jane  (Paine)  Mayhew  and  great-granddaughter  of 
Thomas  Mayhew,  grantee  and  governor  of  Marthas  Vineyard  and 
adjacent  islands. 

On  May  9,  1712,  the  Sandwich  people  agreed  to  give  Samuel 
Osborn,  the  "schoolmaster  at  Edgartown,"  £60  per  year  for  three 
years  if  he  would  serve  them  that  time  and  give  instruction  in  Greek. 
There  is  no  record  that  he  accepted  the  offer,  but  he  probably  taught 
for  a  time  in  Sandwich  as  the  following  year  he  and  his  wife  Jedidah 
united  with  the  Congregational  church  in  that  town.  The  record  of 
their  admission  to  the  church  styles  him  "Rev.  Mr.  Osborn."  In 
1713  he  was  engaged  to  teach  in  Harwich  and  while  there  he  and  his 
wife  witnessed  the  will  of  Kenelrn  Winslow  which  bears  date  Jan. 
17, 1712-13.  In  the  Harwich  records  his  name  appears  as  "Asbon." 
He  perhaps  was  a  schoolmaster  at  Sandwich  after  this  date,  as  the 
Rev.  Benjamin  Holm,  an  eminent  minister  of  the  Friends  who  visited 
Sandwich  in  1715,  recounts  in  his  journal  "a  dispute  with  one  Sam- 
uel Osborn,  a  school  master."  Mr.  Osborn  appears  next  in  Ply- 
mouth where  he  was  teaching  in  November,  1717,  when  he  received 
a  call  to  the  church  at  Eastham  to  succeed  the  "learned,  pious  and 
faithful  pastor,"  Rev.  Samuel  Treat.  Soon  after  the  death  of  Mr. 
Treat  efforts  were  made  by  the  Eastham  church  to  secure  the  settle- 
ment of  a  minister.  They  sent  and  invited  first  the  Rev.  Mr.  Hub- 
bard but  failing  of  him  they  invited  Mr.  Osborn  "who  was  in  the 


500  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

school  at  Plymouth  and  frequently  had  preached  for  the  Reverend 
Mr.  Little"  and  "occasionly  in  many  other  places."  Mr.  Osborn 
gave  up  his  school  in  order  to  supply  the  Eastham  pulpit  as  a  candi- 
date, and  entered  upon  his  work  there  about  the  beginning  of  Novem- 
ber, 1717.  About  the  first  of  April,  1718,  the  church  sent  to  the 
ministers  of  the  county,  then  met  at  Barnstable,  for  their  advice 
respecting  his  settlement  and  their  advice  was  as  follows : 

We,  the  Subscribers  say,  That  tho'  we  have  a  due  Value  for  and  cordial 
Respect  to  the  said  Mr.  Osborn,  and  wish  him  well,  and  know  not  but  that 
he  might  be  Serviceable ;  yet  on  sundry  Considerations,  we  cannot  think  it 
advisable  to  encourage  as  to  his  Settlement ;  especially  at  present,  and  par- 
ticularly, having  had  Advice  of  some  Scandal  that  said  Osborn  lies  under, 
which  we  cannot  understand  was  ever  yet  cleared  up,  which  until  it  be  to  our 
Satisfaction,  were  there  nothing  else,  we  cannot  but  look  upon  it  a  sufficient 
Bar  in  our  way  against  giving  our  Consent  or  Advice  for  his  said  settlement.

Note.  This  was  a  scandalous  report  then  brought  to  the  minis- 
ters, which  the  Rev.  Mr.  Cotton  never  heard  of  before.  However,  he 
said  he  would  enquire  into  the  truth  of  it  and  as  he  found  so  would 
he  signify  it  to  each  of  his  brethren  and  to  the  Eastham  church.  Ac- 
cordingly some  time  after  he  wrote  the  following  letter  to  their  church 
agent : 

Mr.  Paine  : 

I  have  your  Letter  by  Mr.  Doane  and  have  endeavored  to  communicate 
it  to  the  Ministers  between  Us  and  You ;  and  have  desired  them  to  give  an- 
swer, if  they  see  cause.  For  my  own  part  I  do  not  give  Credit  to  the  late 
Reflection,  which  (I  suppose)  was  very  untruly  and  unduly  cast  on  Mr.  Os- 
born. But  yet  I  count  it  my  Duty  that  it  is,  and  hath  been  upon  good  Grounds, 
the  Practice  of  the  Candidates  for  the  Ministry,  to  offer  themselves  to  the 
'Examen  of  the  Presbetery  in  their  several  Associations,  in  order  to  the  Dis- 
covery and  Approbation  of  their  Ministerial  capacity  and  Qualifications,  that 
so  they  maybe  recommended  to  that  great  work  of  our  Glorious  Lord.  Now 
I  do  not  know  that  any  Minister  of  this  Association,  has  ever  tasted  of  Mr. 
Osborn's  Capacity  and  Gifts  for  that  sacred  service :  So  that  it  is  not  to  be 
Avondered  at,  or  thought  hard  of,  that  they  are  not  so  hasty  in  their  Appro- 
bation of  him,  as  yourselves  were.  I  hope  I  do  sincerely  desire  the  Glory  of 
God,  the  Peace  and  Edification  of  your  Church  and  People  and  Mr.  Osborn's 
and  his  Family's  best  good  ;  and  wish  you  may  all  be  directed  to  take  those

steps,  and  walk  in  that  way,  which  may  attain  those  Ends.      Amen.     I  am

Your  Friend 

Sandwich,  Rowland  Cotton. 

May  8th,  1718. 

Sometime  after  this  Mr.  Cotton  sent  for  Mr.  ( )sborn  to  go  to  Sand- 
wich to  preach  before  the  ministers,  which  Accordingly  he  did ;  and 
before  he  returned,  one  of  the  ministers  before  whom  he  had  preached, 
gave  him  ten  theological  questions  to  answer  extempore,  as  follows  : 

(1)  How  came  we  to  be  involved  in  Adam's  guilt,  seeing  we  never  chose 
him  for  our  Head? 

(2)  How  is  God  Unchaugable  seeing  that  it  was  in  Time  that^He  became 
a  Creator,  Preserver,  &c? 

(3)  Why  was  Man's  Punishment  that  he  was  sentenced  to,  Eternal? 

(4)  How  can  God  accept  Satisfaction  by  a  Surety,  seeing  the  Threaten- 
ing is  positive? 

(5)  Why  was  it  needful  that  Jesus  Christ  the  Mediator  should  be  both 
God  and  Man? 

(6)  What  is  the  matter  of  a  Sinner's  Justification? 

(7)  On  what  Account  was  Christ's  active  obedience  necessary? 

(8)  What  influence  has  Faith  to  our  Justification? 

(9)  If  we  are  justified  by  Christ's  Righteousness,  what  need  of  our  Obe- 
dience to  the  Law? 

(10)  If  Christ  has  suffered  the  Penalty  of  the  Law,  why  does  God  threaten 
his  People  for  their  sins ! 

After  about  seven  months'  trial  and  experience  of  Mr.  Osborn's 
gifts  and  qualifications  for  the  work  of  the  ministry  and  having  pe- 
rused his  "  Letters  of  Commendation  "  from  such  as  are  "  Sober  and 
Religious  "  in  Ireland,  and  having  received  a  full  account  of  his  con- 
duct and  conversation  since  his  arrival  into  the  country  in  1707,  the 
Eastham  church  proceeded  to  give  him  "  a  full  Call  to  the  Office," 
and  on  May  19,  1718,  unanimously  chose  him  for  their  pastor,  the 
town  as  unanimously  concurring  with  them  in  that  choice. 

Mr.  Osborn  having  accepted  this  call,  the  church  appointed  Sept. 
17, 1718,  for  the  day  of  his  ordination,  and  in  due  time  sent  out  letters 
to  all  the  churches  of  the  county  and  to  the  church  at  Plymouth.  The 
pastors  of  Yarmouth  and  Truro  being  abroad  at  the  time,  the  churches 
of  Plymouth,  Sandwich,  Falmouth  and  Barnstable  convened.  The 
"  memorable  Mr.  Cotton  "  gave  the  Charge,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Little  gave 
the  Right  Hand  of  Fellowship  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Metcalf  assisted  in 
Laying  on  of  Hands. 

On  ordination  day  morning   Justice  John  Doane  of   Billingsgate 


,r)02  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

(Wellfleet)  came  before  the  churches  convened  and  delivered  in  the 
following  paper,  signed  by  three  male  and  fourteen  female  members 
of  the  church,  residing  in  Billingsgate  under  the  ministry  of  Rev.  Jo- 
siah  Oakes  : 

We  -whose  Names  are  hereunto  subscribed,  Members  of  the  Church  at 
Eastham,  having  not  concur'd  with  any  of  the  Acts  either  of  Church  or  Town 
relating  to  Mr.  Osborn's  Settlement  in  the  Ministry  there ;  nor  indeed  have 
had  any  Notification  about  any  of  their  Meetings  about  their  Affairs :  Also 
looking  on  him  not  qualified  for  the  Work  of  the  Ministry  according  to  what 
hath  been  signified  to  our  Church  by  the  Reverend  Elders  at  an  Association 
Meeting  of  theirs  at  Barnstable,  April  9,  1718,  do  therefore  publicity  declare 
our  dissent  from  his  Settlement  among  us,  and  disclaim  any  Relation  to  him 
as  our  Pastor.

This  paper  was  somewhat  surprising  to  the  church  and  to  the  or- 
dination council.  A  long  controversy  ensued.  It  continued  till  well 
into  1723  and  into  which  were  drawn  the  Rev.  Josiah  Oakes  of  Bil- 
lingsgate, Rev.  John  Avery  of  Truro,  Rev.  Nathaniel  Stone  of  Har- 
wich and  Rev.  Joseph  Lord  of  Chatham.  Several  church  meetings 
were  called  and  three  or  four  ecclesiastical  councils  were  convened, 
one  at  the  house  of  John  Doane,  Esq.,  at  Billingsgate,  Nov.  8,  1720, 
one  at  Eastham,  Oct.  24,  1722  and  another  at  the  same  place  on  May 
8,  1723.  Mrs.  Hannah  (Hobart)  Doane,  wife  of  John  Doane,  Esq.} 
and  one  of  the  leaders  in  the  Billingsgate  faction  against  Mr.  Osborn, 
was  "admonished"  by  the  church  for  "irregular  withdrawing  com- 
munion" and  finally  was  excommunicated  from  the  church,  because 
of  her  "ungodly  carriage,"  "  railings,"  etc. 

Despite  the  efforts  of  his  opponents  Mr.  Osborn  continued  in  the 
pastorate  at  Eastham  for  more  than  twenty  years.  He  began  his 
labors  there  in  the  old  meeting-house  which  stood  near  the  old  Town 
Cove  burial-ground,  but  in  1719,  on  the  division  of  the  church  and 
the  completion  of  the  new  meeting-house,  he  removed  and  became 
the  pastor  of  the  branch  at  S.  Eastham,  it  then  representing  the 
parent  church.  Here  he  continued  many  years,  actively  engaged  in 
his  work  and    in  the  esteem  and  confidence  of  the  brethren,  until 


APPENDIX.  503 

trouble  arose  between  him  and  his  parishioners  respecting  doctrinal 
points,  a  trouble  which  finally  ended  in  his  formal  dismissal  by  the 
church  after  a  full  trial,  Nov.  20,  1738.  His  accusers  brought  noth- 
ing to  prove  any  immoral  conduct,  but  they  thought  as  did  the 
"venerable  council,"  convened  June  28, 1738,  that  his  "  unguarded 
expressions  "  concerning  "  God  and  his  moral  perfections  as  also  con- 
cerning election,  redemption  and  other  like  tenets  of  the  holy  faith," 
were  enough  to  disqualify  him  from  holding  the  pastoral  office.  The 
leaders  in  this  trial  for  heresy  were  men  of  prominence  in  Eastham. 
Two  of  them,  Dea.  Joseph  Doane  and  Nathaniel  Freeman,  Esq.,  were 
men  of  intelligence  and  large  influence,  and  it  is  safe  to  say  that 
after  having  listened  to  so  radical  an  exponent  of  all  the  sharp 
points  of  Calvinism  as  the  Rev.  Samuel  Treat,  they  did  not  fail  to 
discover  the  gradual  changing  of  the  views  of  their  finely  educated 
minister  and  his  decided  leaning  towards  Pelagianism.  The  dismissal 
from  the  church  brought  Mr.  Osborn  and  his  family  under  somewhat 
trying  circumstances,  as  appears  by  the  following  from  his  own 
writing : 

And  so  by  means  of  that  Antinomian  Council,  I  in  an  advanced  Age,  and 
my  poor  Family,  were  turned  adrift  to  shift  how  we  best  could;  nor  could 
I  help  myself  or  Family,  by  disposing  of  my  House  and  little  Land  I  was 
posess'd  of,  amongst  them;  it  appear'd  to  me,  that  by  Means  of  their 
Council,  their  Prejudices  were  so  strong,  that  they  counted  they  did  God 
good  Service,  in  doing  me  all  the  Mischief  that  lay  in  their  Power ;  They 
used  their  utmost  Endeavors  to  prevent  my  having  a  hearing;  and  in  the 
mean  Time  hastened  the  Settlement  of  a  young  Man,  who,  in  my  Opinion, 
ought  rather  to  have  been  sent  to  School,  than  suffered  to  go  into  the  Pulpit 
to  teach  others. 

I  had  something  of  an  Estate  amongst  that  People,  with  whom  I  preached 
above  twenty  years,  but  I  look  upon  it  as  lost;  for  tho'  their  Council  advis'd 
them  to  give  me  an  equivilant  for  what  I  was  possessed  of  amongst  them, 
but  that  Antinomian  Council  having  stuffed  their  Result,  vrith  so  many  inju- 
rious Insinuations,  it  appear'd  to  me,  that  the  poor  deceived  People  were  so 
prejudiced  they  would  buy  nothing  of  me,  looking  upon  me  to  be  as  hateful 
and  dispicable  a  Man  as  their  Council  had   describ'd   me  in   their  Result. 

After  his  dismission  from  the  church  Mr.  Osborn  continued  for  a 
time  to  preach  to  his  adherents  in  his  own  house  at  Eastham,  though 
subject  to  much  persecution.  I  quote  from  his  The  Case  and  Com- 
plaint : 

I  being  excluded  the  Pulpit,  preached  in  my  own  House,  to  the  Party  who 
still  adhered  to  me  and  refused  to  swallow  the  Antinomian  Errors.  After 
some  time  four  of  us  were  complained  of  to  the  Grand  Jury.  The  Court  at 
Barnstable  accepted  the  Presentment  and  we  were  summoned  to  appear; 


504  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

"which  we  did.  I  pleaded  in  open  Court,  that  I  could  not  in  Conscience  join 
with  the  People  who  had  in  my  Opinion  forsaken  the  Truth,  and  had  em- 
braced the  Errors  of  that  Antiuomian  Council :  I  pleaded  that  under  the 
Gospel,  all  Places  were  alike  Holy,  and  the  Worship  accepted,  whether  per- 
formed in  the  House,  in  the  Fields,  or  by  the  River  Side.  I  pleaded,  that  I 
could  not  be  convinced  that  it  was  contrary  to  Law  for  me  to  preach  in  my 
own  House  to  my  own  People  over  whom  the  Holy  Ghost  had  made  me  an 
Overseer.  But  the  Court  was  very  stern  and  rough,  and  urged  our  pleading 
Guilty  or  not  Guilty.  I  then  told  the  Court  (my  Heart  being  almost  broke 
with  malicious  Treatment  from  Antinomians  who  could  not  sin)  that  if  it 
was  a  Breach  of  Law,  my  preaching  in  my  own  House  to  my  own  People, 
then  I  was  Guilty.  A  Majority  of  the  Justices  determined  that  we  should 
pay  our  fines;  James  Otis,  Esq.  expressing  himself  thus,  viz.  That  the  Law 
knew  of  no  such  Assemblies  as  mine  was.  Having  paid  our  Fines  and  other 
Charges  we  returned  home :  And  tho'  I  continued  to  preach  in  my  House 
to  my  own  People  as  before,  yet  the  Court  never  sent  for  me  again  upon 
any  such  Account. 

In  1743,  Mr.  Osborn  was  in  Boston  and  about  that  time  went  into 
York  county  (Maine)  with  a  view  to  settlement  in  the  pastorate  at 
Brunswick.  On  arrival  there,  however,  to  his  "great  Surprise"  a 
letter  was  put  into  his  hands  subscribed  by  Benjamin  Column,  Thomas 
Prence,  William  Cooper  and  Joshua  Gee,  ministers  at  Boston,  wherein 
they  tell  the  church  at  Brunswick  "That  they  understood  that  the 
faces  of  some  of  them  were  set  upon  "  Mr.  Osborn,  "  and  that  they 
would  not  have  them  fix  upon  a  Man  who  refused  to  subscribe  to  the 
Confession  of  Faith,  denied  original  Sin,  the  Doctrine  of  Grace,  the 
Doctrine  of  the  Trinity  and  Justification  by  Faith  alone." 

It  is  understood  that  Mr.  Osborn  returned  to  his  former  vocation 
of  school-teaching  and  that  he  spent  his  last  days  in  Boston.  It  is 
probable  that  for  a  few  years  after  1761  he  was  a  resident  of  Bar- 
rington,  N.  S.,  to  which  place  his  daughter  Elizabeth  Doane  and 
other  relatives  had  removed.  In  the  list  of  the  original  proprietors 
of  that  township,  the  name  Samuel  Osborn  appears  as  grantee  of 
Lot  69,  as  also  in  the  census  of  1770,  but  whether  this  Samuel 
Osborn  was  the  ejected  minister  of  Eastham  cannot  now  be  posi- 
tively determined.  We  have  no  record  of  Mr.  Osborn's  death  nor 
of  the  death  of  his  first  wife,  Jedidah.  His  grandson  Israel  Doane, 
Sen.,  states  that  he  died  in  Boston  about  the  year  1774.  His  second 
wife  to  whom  he  was  published  in  Boston,  Oct.  19,  1743,  and  with 
whom  he  was  living  at  Nantucket  in  1746,  was  Mrs.  Experience 
Hopkins,  widow  of  Elisha  Hopkins  a  merchant  of  Chatham. 

Mr.  Osborn  is  described  as  a  man  of  "wisdom  and  virtue,"  con- 
tributing much  to  the  temporal  as  well  as  to  the  spiritual  wants  of  his 


APPENDIX.  505 

people,  "by  introducing  new  improvements  in  agriculture  and  by  set- 
ting them  the  example  of  economy  and  industry."  From  him,  it  is 
claimed,  his  parishioners  learned  to  prepare  Cape  Cod  peat  for  fuel. 

His  little  book,  The  Case  and  Complaint  of  Mr.  Samuel  Osborn, 
Late  of  Eastham,  a  pamphlet  of  29  pages,  was  printed  in  Boston  in 
1743.     A  copy  has  been  preserved  in  the  Boston  Public  Library.

Hannah  Carnes,  d.  at  Barrington,  Mar.  10,  1786.  John 
Homer  was  a  merchant  and  shipowner  in  Boston,  owning 
a  number  of  large  vessels  at  one  time  in  company  with  his 
brother  Benjamin.  He  was  one  of  the  "Sous  of  Liberty," 
an  association  of  patriotic  gentlemen,  formed  in  Boston, 
abt.  1768.  In  July,  1775,  he  removed  with  his  family  from 
Boston  to  Barrington,  where  he  purchased  the  property  of 
his  brother-in-law  Edmund  Doane  (see  p.  76),  carried  on  a 
general  store  and  kept  a  tavern  at  Barrington  Head.  He 
became  a  magistrate  and  filled  various  town  offices.  The 
first  records  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths  of  Barrington 
are  in  his  handwriting.  By  his  first  marriage  there  were 
eight  children,  of  whom  Abigail,  b.  at  Boston,  Aug.  21, 
1753,  Mary,  Francis  and    two  others  d.  in  infancy.     The

remaining  three  were:  John,  1).  in  Boston,  June  30,  1755;

riugton,  Mar.,  1779,  Mary  Atwood,  who  long  survived  him 
and  d.  at  the  age  of  95  yrs.  He  was  a  prominent  and  use- 
ful man  in  the  community— a  Justice  of  the  Peace,  collector 
of  customs,  etc.  Samuel,  b.  in  Boston,  Jan.  15,  1759;  m. 
at  Barrington,  Sarah,  dan.  of  Capt.  David  Smith.  They 
had  five  children,  one  of  whom  was  burned  to  death  when 
about  seven  years  of  age,  after  which  the  family  removed 
to  Portland,  Me. 
?  Samuel.2  Perhaps  no  such  child.  Israel  Doane,  Sen.,  of  Ar- 
gyle,  N.  S.,  in  his  list  of  his  grandfather  Osborn's  children, 
gives  two  sons,  John  and  Samuel,  and  adds:  "They  both 
settled  in  Connecticut.  John  was  a  skillful  doctor,  and 
Samuel  I  believe  was  a  school  teacher." 

2  JOHN2  OSBORN  (Rev.  Samuel1)  was  bom  about  1713  (bap- 
tized at  Sandwich,  Mass.,  17M)  and  died  at  Middletown,  Conn., 
May  31,  1753,  aged  about  40  years.  He  married  Ann,  daughter  of 
Thomas  and  Patience  (Mulford)  Doane  of  Chatham,  Mass.  (see  page 
59),  who  was  born  about  1715  and  died  Apr.  16,  1791,  aged  7G 
years  (gravestone,  Town  Hill  Burying  Yard,  E.  Haddam,  Conn.). 
She  married  second,  May  27,  1756,  Thomas  Smith  who  was  born  at 
E.  Haddam,  Mar.  20,  1710  and  died  Dec.  23,  1797  (gravestone, 
Town  Hill  Burying  Yard),  the  son  of  Matthew  and  Sarah  (Mack) 
Smith.  By  this  marriage  there  was  one  son,  Samuel  Smith,  who  was 
born  Dec.  1,  1757. 

John  Osborn  studied  for  the  ministry  at  his  father's  desire,  but 
his  trial  sermon  delivered  in  the  presence  of  the  ministers  of  Barn- 
stable county  was  adjudged  unorthodox,  though  well  prepared.  He 
then  began  the  study  of  medicine,  as  his  tastes  were  in  that  direction. 
He  graduated  at  Harvard  College,  it  is  understood,  in  1735  and  about 
1739  settled  in  Middletown,  where  he  shared  the  practice  of  medicine 
with  Dr.  John  Arnold.  Thatcher's  Medical  Biography  pronounces 
him  "  a  very  respectable  physician."  He  was  also  a  man  of  fine 
scholastic  attainments.  While  in  college  he  was  distinguished  for 
mathematical  investigation  and  for  his  Latin  verse,  and  after  his 
graduation  he  was  offered  a  tutorship  in  Harvard  college,  but  de- 
clined the  honor.  It  is  said  that  he  ranked  higher  as  a  scholar  than 
most  of  the  literary  men  of  his  day.  Two  or  three  of  his  poetical 
effusions  gained  for  him  some  celebrity  as  a  poet.     Before  his  grad- 


APPENDIX.  ,r)07 

uation  he  wrote  an  elegaic  epistle  on  the  death  of  his  sister,  which, 
says  Freeman's  History  of  Cape  Cod,  "has  been  preserved  in  the 
Boston  Mirror."  While  in  his  father's  house  at  Eastham  and  in  the 
midst  of  companions  accustomed  to  a  seafaring  life,  he  wrote  his 
Whaling  Song  whicli  can  be  found  in  Barber's  Historical  Collections 
of  Connecticut  and  in  Ricketson's  History  of  New  Bedford,  Massa- 
chusetts. Besides  these  compositions,  Doctor  Osborn  wrote  a  few  re- 
ligious stanzas  while  on  his  death  bed,  expressing  his  resignation  to 
death  and  anticipations  of  Heaven.  His  elegy  was  written  on  the 
death  of  his  sister  Mary,  and  was  addressed  to  an  older  sister  living 
at  Plymouth.  It  was  written  in  the  spring,  and  he  began  by  de- 
scribing the  great  beauty  of  the  season,  and  then  addresses  his  be- 
reaved sister  as  follows : 

But  Sister,  all  the  sweets  that  grace 
The  Spring,  and  blooming  nature's  face, 

The  chirping  birds, 

Nor  lowing  herds, 

The  woody  hills, 

Nor  murmuring  rills, 

The  Sylvan  shades, 

Nor  flowering  meads, 
Tome  their  former  joys  dispense, 
Tho'  all  their  pleasures  court  my  sense 
But  melancholy  damps  my  mind ; 
I  lonely  walk  the  field 
With  inward  sorrow  filled, 
And  sigh  to  every  breathing  wind. 
I  mourn  our  tender  Sister's  death 
In  various  plaintive  sounds, 
While  hills  above,  and  vales  beneath 
Their  faltering  note  rebounds. 
Perhaps  when  in  the  pains  of  death, 
She  gasp'd  her  latest  breath, 
You  saw  our  pensive  friends  around, 
With  tears  bedew  the  ground ; 
Our  loving  father  stand, 
And  press  her  trembling  hand, 
And  gently  cry,  my  child  adieu 
We  all  must  follow  you. 

In  1753,  Dr.  Osborn  was  stricken  with  fever,  and  soon  after  wrote 
to  his  sister,  Sarah  Morton,  at  Plymouth,  the  following  account  of 
himself  and  family  :  "We  are  all  in  usual  plight,  except  myself.  I 
am  confined  chiefly  to  the  house ;  am  weak,  lame  and  uneasy  and 
never  expect  to  be  hearty  and  strong  again.     I  have  lingered  almost

two  years  a  life  not  worth  having  and  how  much  longer  it  will  last  I 
cannot  tell.  We  have  six  children,  the  eldest  fourteen  years  old  the 
last  November,  the  youngest  two  years  last  January ;  the  eldest  a 
daughter,  the  next  a  son,  and  so  on  to  the  end  of  the  chapter." 

The  life  which  he  thought  "  not  worth  having  "  lasted  only  a  short 
time  after  he  wrote  the  letter,     lie   was  buried  in  what    is  now    the 
River  Side  burial-ground,  where  a  monument  marks  his  grave.

Dear  Sir: 

By  Capt.  Barrows,  bound  to  Nova  Scotia,  who  promised  to  forward  a  letter,  I  gladly 
embrace  the  opportunity  to  write  to  you,  wishing  these  may  find  you  and  your  family  in 
perfect  health.  Capt.  Harrows  has  informed  me  of  a  breach  in  your  family  which  very 
much  concerns  me  to  hear  of.  I  had  the  pleasing  idea  that  vour  son  would  make  a  man 
of  extraordinary  talents;  having  as  I  thought  the  most  lively  genius  that  ever  I  knew. 
Alas!  How  are  our  expectations  cut  off.  I  flnd.by  experience  that  we  ought  not  to  place 
our  minds  on  any  earthly  object.  Since  I  saw  you  I  myself  have  had  many  severe  trials, 
more  than  I  can  now  recount.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  in  March,  17U9,  being  on  a  paBSage 
from  Boston  to  Gibraltar,  by  an  accident  on  board,  ten  days  before  our  arrival  to  that, 
place,  1  had  the  misfortune  to  lose  my  left  hand  by  loading  a  cannon.  On  our  arrival  I 
was  carried  immediately  to  the  hospital,  where  I  had  to  undergo  a  most  severe  and  pain- 
ful operation  of  having  my  arm  cut  off.  No  pen  can  describe  my  then  situation— being 
left  in  a  very  low  and  dangerous  situation,  without  one  friend  or  countryman,  and  with- 
out money.  But  it  pleased  God  to  restore  me  to  a  measure  of  health  after  a  confinement 
of  three  months.  After  that  I  got  a  passage  home  to  my  friends.  My  mother  and  the  rest 
of  our  family  are  all  well.  My  uncle  Payne  and  his  family  are  all  well.  I  expect  he  will 
write  if  ho  knows  this  opportunity.  Since  my  return  home  I  have  been  employed  by  Mr. 
Eben  Parsons— and  I  should  be  vei-y  glad  to  have  a  letter— I  can  forward  letters  to  my 
uncle  if  you  please  to  send  them  to  me.  So,  being  in  haste,  I  beg  leave  to  subscribe  my- 
self, 

Yours,  etc.,

512  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

father  died  in  the  Colonial  service  at  Louisbourg,  Cape  Breton.  After 
the  marriage  of  his  mother  to  Edmund  Doane  (  see  page  75  )  he  was 
placed  in  the  family  of  Rev.  Joseph  Crocker,  pastor  of  the  Second 
Congregational  church  in  Eastham,  where  he  continued  during  his 
minority.  Mr.  Crocker  was  a  most  excellent  man,  and  his  amiable 
ward  derived  great  advantages  from  being  a  member  of  the  family. 
Mr.  Crocker  was  a  well  educated  clergyman,  having  graduated  from 
Harvard  College,  and  Mr.  Paine  found  him  a  great  helper  in  matters 
of  education.  Mr.  Paine  always  spoke  of  him  highly.  Not  many 
years  after  leaving  his  'venerable  and  beloved  master' at  Eastham, 
he  went  to  Boston  and  at  length,  deciding  to  become  a  physician, 
he  began  the  study  of  medicine  under  Dr.  Joseph  Warren,  the  dis- 
tinguished patriot  who  afterwards  fell  on  Bunker  Hill  in  the  memor- 
able battle  June  17,  1775.  But  the  trouble  with  the  mother  country 
coming  on,  his  resources  were  disturbed  and  studies  interrupted. 
School  teaching  suggesting  itself  as  a  means  of  support,  he  opened 
an  '  English  Grammar  School'  in  Boston,  in  1774,  '  which  had  lately 
been  kept  by  Mr.  Ward,'  and  assured  those  who  should  'favor  him 
with  the  important  task  of  educating  their  children,'  he  would  exert 
his  'utmost  endeavors  by  a  constant  and  careful  attention  to  their 
interests  to  merit  their  approbation  and  deserve  their  encourage- 
ment.' Beside  'English  Grammar,  Reading,  Writing  and  Arithme- 
tic,' he  proposed  to  teach  the  'Rudiments  of  Latin.'  The  occupation 
of  the  town  by  the  British  troops  in  1775,  was  detrimental  to  his 
school  and  it  was  discontinued.  Accepting  the  position  of  tutor  in 
the  Perkins  family,  of  which  James  and  Thomas  H.,  eminent  mer- 
chants, were  members,  he  went  with  the  family  to  Barnstable  and, 
after  the  evacuation  of  the  besieged  town,  he  returned  and  again 
opened  his  school.  The  duties  of  a  teacher  in  those  days  were  ardu- 
ous, and  he  seems  to  have  found  very  little  spare  time  to  devote  to 
private  affairs.  He  was  obliged,  he  says  in  a  letter  to  his  kind 
uncle  Thomas  Paine  of  Eastham,  dated  at  Boston,  Oct.  31,  1776,  to 
be  in  his  school  'from  the  first  entrance  of  light  till  nine  in  the  even- 
ing, and  the  leisure  half-days' — Thursday  and  Saturday — of  each 
week  to  'wait  on  such  as  do  not  attend  the  school,'  meaning  un- 
doubtedly those  he  was  privately  instructing.  For  a  while  after 
this  date  but  little  is  known  of  him.  For  a  short  period,  it  is  under- 
stood, he  was  in  some  business  of  a  mercantile  character  at  New 
London,  Conn.,  and  that  while  there,  he  became  acquainted  with 
Miss  Isaacs,  who  soon  became  his  wife. 

"  In  1783,  he  became  a  resident  of  Easthampton,  L.  I.,  and  engaged 


APPENDIX.  513 

in  his  vocation  as  teacher.     In  1784,  he  took  charge  of  the  Clinton 
Academy  just  then  erected  mainly  through  the  efforts  of  Dr.  Buell 
aud  himself.     His  connection  with  this  institution  was  not   severed 
until  after  1790.     In  1791,  the  year  his  famous  son,  John  Howard, 
was  born,  he  was  a  teacher  of   French,  English  Grammar,  Writing, 
Arithmetic,  etc.,  at  No.  4  Great  Dock  street,  New  York  city.     In 
1793,  he  was  residing  at  No.  5  Dye  street  and  teaching   on  Little 
Queen  street.     His  school  in  1794  and  1795  was  at  23  Cedar  street, 
and  in  1796  at  29  Ann  street.     In  1797  and  1798  it  was    on   Ferry 
street.       In   1799,    he   was    invited   by   some   leading  and  influen- 
tial men  in  Boston  to  open  a  school  in  that  place,  aud  thither  he  re- 
moved that  year  and  opened  the    Academy    on    Berry,    afterwards 
Channing  street.     It  was  well  attended  and  soon  became    a    noted 
school.     Among  the  pupils,  who  in  after  life  became  prominent,  was 
the  late  John  Gorham  Palfrey,  the  historian.     John  Howard  Paine, 
the  teacher's  son,  was  also  a  pupil  in  the  school,  giving  attention  to 
elocution,  a  branch  his  father  was  very  successful  in  teaching.     Mr. 
Paine  closed  his  school  on  Berry  street  about  1809  and  returned  to 
New  York,  where  he  again  engaged  in  teaching.     In  1811,  he  was 
teaching  on  Common  street  near  Grand  street  in  that  city.     On  the 
afternoon  of  Monday,  Mar.  3,  1812,  while  engaged  in  his  schoolroom, 
he  fell  to  the  floor  from  a  paralytic  shock,  was  carried  to  his  home 
where   he    remained   unconscious   until  Friday,  Mar.    7th,  when   he 
passed  away  in  the  67th    year  of  his  age.     He  was   interred  in  the 
city,  but  now  all  trace  of  the  precise  spot  is  lost. 

"In  person  Mr.  Paine  was  of  medium  height.  He  never  was  a 
strong  man.  Early  in  life  his  health  was  impaired,  and  for  benefi- 
cial results  he  made  a  voyage  to  the  West  Indies.  Later  in  life  his 
health  was  quite  delicate,  and  at  one  period  he  thought  that  he  was 
consumptively  inclined,  but  by  an  abstinence  of  seven  years  from  all 
animal  food,  he  recovered  and  was  able  to  give  the  last  years  of  his 
life  to  teaching.  His  son,  Thatcher  Taylor,  assisted  him  in  teaching, 
and  was  present  it  is  understood,  when  he  fell  in  the  schoolroom. 
Mr.  Paine  was  a  Congregationalist  and  was  a  member  of  the  South 
church  in  Eastham,  of  which  Mr.  Crocker  was  pastor.  The  year  in 
which  he  changed  the  spelling  of  his  name  to  Payne  is  not  known. 
In  a  letter  to  his  uncle  in  1776,  it  is  written  Paine.  For  his  first 
wife  he  married  Miss  Lucy  Taylor  of  Barnstable,  Mass.,  by  Rev. 
Timothy  Hilliard,  Nov.  14,  1775.  Her  death  occurred  not  long  after 
marriage.  For  his  second  wife  he  married  Miss  Sarah  Isaacs  in 
33 


514  THE    DOANE    FAMILY. 

1780.  She  was  the  daughter  of  Mr.  Aaron  Isaacs,  a  respected 
citizen  of  Easthampton,  K.  I.,  and  a  woman  remarkable  for  her 
beauty  and  many  excellent  traits  of  character.  She  died  at  Boston, 
Thursday,  June  18,  1807,  of  consumption,  after  a  long  and  distress- 
ing illness,  aged  49  years.  Her  remains  were  deposited  in  the 
Sturgiss  tomb  in  that  city.  She  appears  to  have  assisted  her  hus- 
band in  teaching.  One  of  her  pupils  had  'pleasant  remembrances 
of  her  as  a  very  pretty  lady,  very  neat  and  dainty  about  her  dress,' 
teaching  reading,  spelling  and  sewing.  She  also  remembered 
'Master  Paine  to  whose  school  she  went  after  leaving  Mrs.  Paine's 
school.' " 

Mr.  Paine  was  a  beautiful  penman.  Many  of  his  letters  are  still 
extant.  They  are  pieces  of  good  composition  and  show  a  lovable 
spirit.     I  subjoin   one*  written  to  his  half-brother  Samuel  Osborn 

*  New  York,  9th  April,  1797. 
Mr  Dear  Brother: 

This  will  show  you  that  I  am  still  living— and  I  have  the  satisfaction  to  add— in  good 
health.  I  am  indebted  to  Mr.  Spears  for  this  opportunity  to  write,  and  for  the  great  pleas- 
ure of  hearing  from  you,  and  from  our  parents.    You  have  regained  your  health — I  am 
very  glad  to  hear  it.    May  you  long  he  continued  a  blessing  to  your  family.  Your  family, 
I  am  told,  is  going  to  be  extended  in  the  marriage  of  your  son.    He  must  be  young  at  this 
time,  but  I  presume  that  it  is  a  suitable  connection  which  he  is  about  to  form,  and  as  such 
must  be  agreeable.    Most  ardently  I  wish  to  see  you  all.    I  always  retain  a  little  hope  of 
it,  which  serves  but  to  increase  the  wish.    Never  was  a  son  more  affectionately  attached 
to  a  surviving  parent  than  I  have  been,  even  from  my  infancy  to  the  present  time.    And 
when  I  have  known  ours,  in  arduous  situations,  in  difficulty,  in  danger  and  in  the  most 
distressing  exigences,  my  soul  has  shared  them,  and  the  power  of  giving  them  relief 
would  have  been  to  me  the  mo6t  superlative  delight.  I  have  often  wished  that  I  had  been 
permitted  to  go  with  you  into  that  country.     I  have  never  yet  forgotten  my  sensations 
when  I  saw  the  family  passing  the  window  (where  I  stood  attending  family  prayers)  on 
their  way  to  embark  at  the  landing  by  Mr.  Nathaniel  Mayo's.    Providence  overruled  my 
wishes— undoubtedly  for  the  best— and  I  am  certain  that  my  mother  used  her  best  dis- 
cretion in  leaving  me  with  that  good  clergyman  whose  memory  I  revere.    It  pleased  God 
to  put  me  very  early  under  the  discipline  of  adversity,  by  which  I  ought  undoubtedly  to 
have  profited  much  better  than  I  have.    I  have  never  been  fortunate  as  we  understand  the 
word;  but  constantly  the  reverse.    I  have,  however,  been  happy  in  my  family,  which  is 
healthy — and  our  children  particularly  promising.  Our  eldest  son,  a  little  past  thirteen,  is 
now  in  a  store— does  the  business  of  a  clerk  and  is  equal  to  it.    I  have  missed  of  two  op- 
portunities for  writing  you  last  winter,  which  I  did  intend  to  have  improved,  but  I  have 
so  many  avocations  as  leads  me  to  frequent  omissions  of  this  sort.     I  must  beg  you  pre- 
sent my  most  dutiful  and  affectionate  remembrance  to  our  parents— our  mother  in  partic- 
ular.   Assure  her  of  my  most  devout  and  fervent  wishes  for  her  welfare  and  happiness. 
You  see  our  sister  Doane  sometimes.     It  is  long  since  I  have  heard  anything  particular 
from  her.     Pray  assure  her  of  my  kind  remembrance  and  my  wishes  for  her  prosperity ; 
it  would  give  me  much  satisfaction  to  get  a  letter  fi-om  her.    Give  my  love  to  your  family 
and  accept  the  same  from  ours,  and  believe  me  with  kind  regard 

Your  affectionate  brother, 

Wm.  Payne. 
Mr.  S.  Osbn  Doane. 

I  do  not  clearly  recollect,  but  I  think  I  must  have  mentioned  before.that  our  young- 
est daughter  now  about  3j  years  old,  is  named  for  our  mother,  and  we  call  her  Eliza. 
Our  next  is  a  son  about  eight  months  old— he  is  the  third  boy  and  we  have  five  girls.
